By plane:
The closest commercial airport to Lawrence is the Kansas City International Airport, about an hour's drive to the east. Those flying should count on renting a car and driving themselves to Lawrence. However, there are also transportation services from the Indianapolis airport to Lawrence (advanced reservations are encouraged, if not required):
* Overland Limousine Service (1-800-575-4845)
* GTI (Ground Transport, Inc.) (1-785-865-2872) (runs every two hours)
* Jeff's Shuttle (1-877-367-9696) http://www.kci-lawrence-topeka-shuttle.com
* KCI AirportShuttle (1-800-826-8294) http://www.kciroadrunner.com
By car:
From East, West or North: come to Lawrence on I-70 (Kansas Turnpike-toll road-$1.40 to Lawrence from Kansas City). Take the West Lawrence Exit 202 (US Highway 59). Go South (the only direction you may proceed) on Highway 59 past the Holiday Inn on your left, go through the underpass and, after you merge onto Iowa Street, look immediately to your right (west side of the road) for the Quality Inn, just before 9th Street, no more than one mile from the turnpike.
From the South: Come into Lawrence on US 59. Keep going North on Iowa Street (US 59) past the University, then just pass 9th Street. The Quality Inn is to your left.
On K-10 from Kansas City: K-10 becomes 23rd Street. Continue going West on 23rd until you arrive at Iowa Street (US 59.) Turn right (North) on Iowa Street (US 59) past the University, then just pass 9th Street. The Quality Inn is to your left.
Arriving on campus:
The University of Kansas is off Iowa Street (US 59) at 15th (Bob Billings Parkway). Turn East on 15th, go past the dormitories, and go down the hill (still on 15th). When you arrive at the stop sign, you will see Murphy Hall (the Music and Dramatic Arts building) in front of you and to your right. Turn right (South) onto Naismith Drive and note the parking lot to your right, across the street from Murphy Hall. Keep turning right to enter the parking lot. Enter Murphy Hall through the glass doors on the west side of the building that face the parking lot. The reception/registration desk, visible from this entrance, will be in the hallway directly across from the snack bar, in front of Swarthout Recital Hall, where much of the conference will take place.
