Vaccinations: The current Wesleyan policy is that all visitors must be vaccinated and boosted. "All visitors should be prepared to provide proof of vaccination."
Masks: Masks are currently optional for vaccinated/boosted people (though we request them of all visitors at the observatory), and the policy states: "Faculty, students, and staff should continue to carry a mask with them; we ask that you be accommodating to those who are more comfortable with everyone masked during meetings." Since the meeting will bring together about 50 people from 18 different institutions, we request masks when indoors during the meeting.

The meeting will take place in the Ring Family Performing Arts Hall and the Van Vleck Observatory on the Wesleyan University campus. A full, searchable campus map is found here, and a detailed zoom-in of the region is shown at left.
Parking is plentiful in Wesleyan's "V" lot on Vine St., with no parking permit required. Expect some walking between the parking and the venue, however. Please contact the meeting organizers if you need closer parking to meet your accessibility needs.
Lunch will be provided, and outdoor eating will be encouraged. Coffee/Tea and snacks will be available at coffee breaks.
