You are requested to make your own reservation by calling the Holiday Inn Express at 706-546-8122.
Travel Information
The Conference will be held in the Miller Learning Center (rm 148) and in the UGA Math Department in the Boyd Graduate Studies Bldg.
To get to Athens, you should fly into Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport (ATL). There are then 3 principal options for getting to Athens:
- A shuttle service, AAA Airport Express (800-354-7874), provides the 90 minute trip to Athens for $45 one way. You should contact them directly to make a reservation. AAA Airport Express drops off and picks up at local hotels and near the math department, at the Georgia Center.
- One airline, Georgia Skies, flies from Atlanta to Athens Ben-Epps Airport (AHN). There are 6 flights each day (3 on weekends) and tickets are usually $42 one way, including taxes. From Athens airport, you can take a 15 minute taxi ride to the UGA campus, or area hotels.
- For two or more people travelling together, it may be cheapest to rent a car from Atlanta airport. The best route depends on Atlanta's unpredictable traffic. During rush hour, take I-285 east to I-20 east, then GA-138 and US-78. Late at night, or in the middle of the day, you can take I-85 north through downtown Atlanta, then GA-316.
There are a couple of other ways to get to Athens. Sometimes you'll find cheaper rates if you fly into Greenville-Spartanburg Airport (GSP). It is a 2 hour, low traffic drive to or from Athens. You will need to rent a car if you land there.
- Some information about Athens, including restaurants and music
- Campus Map
- The campus bus system is a convenient and free way to get around campus. During the conference these are on the "Intersession" schedule and only run Monday to Friday from 7:00am to 6:00pm. The Red Route travels between Downtown (near the Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express hotels), and the Math Department (where the talks are) and Georgia Center Hotel.
- Parking at UGA
- There is a parking deck 5 minutes walk from the department, that costs $8-10/day. After 5pm and on Saturday and Sunday you can park in any of the campus lots (except the parking deck) at no cost.
