Parking
Parking is available at Aloft, the conference hotel, and is free for day visitors. Overnight parking costs $8 a night for guests staying at the hotel.
NC State Visitor Lots are also nearby. For a full list of these lots, click here. However, the best bet is to first try either the Belltower Lot at NC State or the Ferndell Lot. Both of these are close to the hotel.
There is also parking available at the North Hall Parking Lot on NC State’s campus; this is free nights and weekends, but anyone wishing to use this for Friday should contact Chris Crosbie in advance of the conference to obtain a temporary parking permit ($10, payable to NC State University) at christopher.crosbie@ncsu.edu
