2019 Additional Meeting Information

Travel Logistics:

Meeting participants are required to arrange their own transportation. If you have special needs, we will help.

Capital Aeroporter:

The Aeroporter is the easiest way between the airport and Evergreen.

Assembly point: is at the south end of Terminal Building near the door marked “00”. The Conference Rate to The Evergreen State College A–Dorm or your hotel for one passenger is $42.00 One-Way or $61.00 Round Trip – This is the Conference Non-Refundable Rate. Even better Group Rates are available, but ONLY for groups that are ON THE SAME FLIGHT AND BOOKING TOGETHER – if this fits you, ask for details when you register. Reservations are required in order to receive the convention rate. Once you purchase a Round-Trip Convention Rate ticket, you cannot receive a refund for the 2nd half of your ticket. All walk-on passengers at the airport without reservations will pay full-fare for Round-Trip tickets.

Payment Type: If possible, credit cards should be used to reserve your transportation.

Other logistic information:

Wi-fi: There is good wi-fi access in the dorms and in many campus buildings, but be aware that there are very few electrical outlets in the lecture hall and cell phone service is spotty throughout the campus especially indoors.
Talks: Speakers will be held tightly to their scheduled amount of time, which includes questions. You will be given signals 5 min and 2 min before your time is up. One minute before the end of your time we will be setting up the next person while you answer final questions. The lecture hall will be available for practice.
Posters: Send as a PDF or Adobe Illustrator file to us at tescphage@gmail.com by July 28, and we will print it here (a 44 x 60 poster will cost $42.00). For those presenting posters, we suggest adding a photo of each attending author so others can easily find you for discussions throughout the meeting.
