Logistics

The workshop will be held on the Bryn Mawr College campus, Room 300 Dalton Hall.
Bryn Mawr is approximately 22 miles from Philadelphia Airport and 15 miles outside of Philadelphia's center. A regional rail connects the airport to the campus (involving one change, total time ~1 hour). The nearest hotels are within a 5-10 mile radius. Downtown Philadelphia is a 25-30 minute train ride away from the campus.

Accommodation

Single occupancy dorm rooms are available on the Bryn Mawr College campus for the duration of the workshop (Wednesday, June 26 to Friday, June 28). This accommodation will be provided to a limited number of attendees at no cost, on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants requesting this accommodation should specify this when filling out the registration form. Participants must cover their own travel costs and make their own travel arrangements.
