Location

Arthur Lewis Auditorium
Robertson Hall
Princeton University 
Princeton, New Jersey 08544-1013
​Parking
For members of the Princeton University community attending the conference who do not have assigned parking on campus:
Mass transit is a much preferred way to get to the Princeton University campus, as parking is extremely limited. NJ Transit (Northeast Corridor line) stops at Princeton Junction, allowing visitors to either grab a taxi to campus from there or to transfer to the "Dinky" Princeton station (about a 15-20 minute walk across campus to Robertson Hall).

One-day Parking 
If you are driving to campus but do not have a parking permit on weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm you may park in Lot 21, near Jadwin Gym or the visitor parking area in Lot 23, near the West Garage. TigerTransit operates frequently from both locations during weekdays until early evening.

There is 10 hour metered parking along (part of) Prospect Street and William Street on either side of Robertson Hall, but these spots are generally taken by early morning.
