Venues: The Connections for Women@AGNES Plenary Talk will be held at LOM 202 and all the AGNES talks will be at Davies Auditorium. Davies Auditorium is in the basement of the Becton Center, 15 Prospect Street, New Haven CT 06511. The Conference Banquet is held at the Quinnipiack Club (also known as the Q-Club). The conference map is available here.
Parking information: There is parking near Davies Auditorium as well as parking at the Marriott Hotel (Courtyard New Haven at Yale). (1) There is street parking near Davies Auditorium (assessed at about $1.50/hour from 8 am - 9 pm Mon-Sat) on Hillhouse Avenue, Trumbull Street and surrounding streets (please note that there is a 5 hour limit on Trumbull Street and a 2 hour limit on Hillhouse Avenue, although there are no parking limits after 5 pm). (2) There are Yale parking lots near Davies Auditorium (assessed at about $2.00/hour) that become free after 4 pm on Friday, the closest one is Parking Lot 37. (3) The Marriott has parking on-site, for $20/car/day. (The neighborhoods around the Marriott have zoned parking, so outsiders cannot park there.) AGNES can cover the bill for any hotel parking for any of our participants.
Local transportation from train station: If you are traveling with multiple people, are rushing, or facing bad weather, then a taxi from the train station is the best option. Otherwise, there are several free shuttle buses available: the Yale Red Shuttle, the CT Transit "Commuter Connection", or the CT "Union Station Shuttle". These can let you off at the New Haven "green", at which point the hotel or the lecture hall are pleasant 4-6 block walks away. We do not recommend walking from the train station.
Reimbursement forms: Forms for US Citizens and US Permanent Residents available here. Forms for participants who are not US Citizens or US Permanent Residents available here.

Travel support: We will try to cover travel costs for everyone (excluding air fares), with preference given to junior participants. We will reimburse a limited number of airfares for participants from outside the northeastern US, as funding permits. If you are traveling by air and requesting reimbursement, please contact agnes.yale.2016@gmail.com for approval before purchasing your ticket. Graduate students who are applying for the first time should ask their advisor to send a short e-mail of support (one paragraph) to the organizing committee (agnes.yale.2016@gmail.com). Some funds will be available to support Thursday night stays for participants attending the Connections for Women@AGNES workshop on Friday. Please indicate your interest on the AGNES registration form.
Lodging support: We will cover lodging for all junior participants (graduate students and postdocs) in shared hotel rooms. We will make hotel reservations for participants who register before March 13 and these will be payed directly by AGNES for junior participants (see details below). Junior participants arranging their own accommodations will be reimbursed up to half the regular room rate (on the assumption that they are sharing a room). If you have a valid reason to stay in an individual hotel room, please contact the organizers (agnes.yale.2016@gmail.com) in advance to request an exemption to our room sharing policy.
Registration: The registration deadline March 13 has passed. You can still register and participate of AGNES Spring 2016 but you are responsible for arranging your own hotel accommodations.
