See walking map and downtown area L map below (click to enlarge). There are other stations closer to the hotel (like “Grand” on the red line) but will require a train transfer.

PARKING AND DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS:
If driving, park in the Halsted Parking Structure. Parking validation stickers can be obtained at the meeting. Enter on either North or South sides of the parking structure. However, exit only via the South side, since this is where an attendant can take their parking ticket with validation sticker. It is recommended to park near north east corner. Once you exit structure, walk north and across the street to the UIC Student Center East. There will be signs to follow to the exact location of the meeting. See map below (click to enlarge),
