Alfred University is located in the Village of Alfred, New York, in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains. The University is about an hour west of Corning and an hour and a half south of Rochester by car.

The conference will primarily take place at the Powell Campus Center, a multi-use building with lecture halls, conference rooms, and workshop spaces in the heart of campus.

The Village of Alfred has about 4000 residents and a walkable downtown. Main Street, directly next to Alfred University, is home to restaurants, shops, and a Farmer's Market on Sundays.
