Venue

The conference takes place at the Tomas Rivera Conference Center, on the 3rd floor of the Union East building.

Directions from Hilton Garden Inn: when you exit through the hotel entrance (1 on the map), turn right. Start walking (though the parking lot, or on the sidewalk to the left of it). Keep walking until you see a building (this is the Union East). Turn right again to enter that building (there are sliding doors, 2 on the map). Inside the building, head straight - when you see a staircase, climb three floors up (until there's nowhere else to climb), or take the elevator. From the staircase, the Tomas Rivera Conference Center will be on your left-hand side. (There will be signage, but just so you get an idea.)
