All events will take place at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Tepper Quad, room 5700 (take the elevator to the 5th floor, turn left).

The parking closest to the event is the Carnegie Museum of Art parking lot (https://goo.gl/maps/NxYcC2iMbntu6fxy5), which costs $10. If you prefer to leave your car at the hotel, the workshop venue is about a 20 minute walk or a short Uber/Lyft/etc. ride.

We have arranged for a small hotel block near CMU. If you are interested in staying in the hotel block, please indicate so in your registration.
