Hotel information: The organizers have reserved a block of rooms at the Cambria Hotel College Park, at the rate of $199 per night (plus tax). Workshop participants should use this link to book the group rate: https://www.choicehotels.com/reservations/groups/VG19G8 The Cambria  is right across the street from the campus and ~ 8 minutes walk to the workshop venue. Please book as soon as possible (by Sep. 21 at the latest) because this is homecoming week at UM and any remaining rooms will be released. Cambria Hotel College Park, 8321 Baltimore Avenue, College Park, MD, 20740. 

Parking information: If you are not staying at the Cambria, were guests can park for $12/day, parking will be very tight on Saturday Oct. 14, because of the homecoming game. There will be no on-campus parking, not even for the faculty that normally park there. The best options are i) to take the Metro to College Park station and then hop on the UM campus shuttle that will be doing the rounds to campus continuously that day; or ii) Reserve a parking spot in one of the convenient nearby off-campus locations, and *do it early*. A convenient way to reserve now is via spothero If you will need parking, please do not delay - book your space now.  

For Friday Oct. 13, however, we have reserved parking for registered participants who are not staying at the Cambria. Specifically, parking has been reserved at the Regents Drive Parking Garage Roof Top (click on link for directions), but you have to arrive from 7-9 am. There will be 60 parking spots available, and attendants will be there to distribute permits and show you to the reserved spaces for registered workshop participants only. The organizers will directly pay for this parking.
