welcomeConference LogisticsScroll down to the bottom to see all of this information on a map! Please direct all questions about logistics to Heather Cronk and Abby Kiesa, Planning Committee Co-Chairs, at chairs@campusconference.org -- NOT via the Changing the Present system. Travel
Planes:There are several airports to fly into in order to get to the conference: The largest and closest airport is Boston's Logan International Aiport (BOS). Just about every domestic airline flies into Logan; you can see a list of airlines flying into Logan here. There are also two other airports in the area if you feel like taking a drive -- they're a bit further away, but it's possible to fly low-cost carriers such as Southwest. Try Providence's Green Airport (PVD) (with a list of airlines here) or Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) (with a list of airlines here) for lower fares, though you'll have to rent a car and drive to Boston. Note: If you're traveling from Columbus (OH), Fort Myers (FL), Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point (NC), or Jacksonville (FL), you can check a new low-cost airline, Skybus for super-low ($100) fares. Trains:Amtrak serves the Boston area. You can take the train to either the Back Bay or the South Station stops, though Back Bay is closer to the campus. After arriving by train, Northeastern is accessible by subway via the Green Line (the Northeastern stop on the E line) or the Orange Line (Ruggles Station stop). Commuter rail lines connect with the Orange Line at Back Bay Station, Ruggles Station, and North Station. Check out the MBTA site for a map. Most of the conference will be taking place in the Curry Student Center, which is building 50 on this map, and is directly across from the subway line.

RideShare:One great way to cut costs for the conference (and to be more environmentally friendly) is to share a ride with others. We have launched a discussion thread on the conference Facebook group to facilitate that process. Add the group here, and feel free to join in the conversation!! ParkingDirections to come soon!

For more details about each of these hotels, we encourage you to go directly to the websites of those hotels as well as to check out various hotel review websites. In addition to these hotels, you might want to check several others in the area to see if you can find lower rates.
