Location & Travel Information
The LeaPS conference will begin on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 with registration (4-8
pm) and an opening reception (5-7 pm). The first formal conference event will be
at 8:30 am on Thursday, June 25, 2009. The conference will conclude at 2:30 pm on
Friday, June 26, 2009. Due to the small size and interactive nature of the conference,
we request that all attendees plan to participate in all conference sessions from
Thursday morning until Friday afternoon.
The LeaPS conference will be held at the Sheraton Hotel, Iowa City, IA. Accommodations for all LeaPS
participants will be at the Sheraton. The hotel is located in the heart of Iowa
City (http://icdowntown.com/).
Iowa City is accessible via the Eastern
Iowa Airport (CID) in Cedar Rapids, IA (about 30 minutes away) and the Quad City International Airport (MLI) in Moline, IL
(about one hour away). There can be a large price difference between the two airports,
so you are encouraged to check prices for both before booking your airline tickets.
All conference attendees will be asked to complete a travel form (available in May).
The conference organizers will try to provide transportation to/from the Eastern
Iowa Airport for those arriving on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 and departing on Friday,
June 26, 2009. If you will be arriving in Moline or on different days, the travel
form will allow you to indicate that you would like to be put in touch with others
with similar travel plans.
