Here is a map with the conference hotel, conference venue, sources of coffee and food, and parking marked on it.

The conference will take place in the SEO building on the UIC campus, on the corner of Morgan St and Taylor St. On Saturday morning, there will be signs on other doors directing you to the one door that will be open and guarded by a graduate student until 10:40am; after that, it may be difficult to get into the locked building, so come early for coffee and cookies.

The official conference hotel is the Crowne Plaza Chicago Metro Hotel at 733 W. Madison Ave. Chicago, IL 60661. Their phone number is 312-829-5000. When making reservations, indicate that you are part of UIC to get university rates. If we are paying for you, we will make the reservations. Please email alice at math uic edu if you have any questions.
