Important note about parking
Parking at UNC is extremely difficult at this time. I strongly urge all participants to arrive at the beginning of the conference to minimize the possibility of circling for a spot. A UNC parking map may be found at this link. I would suggest trying the following lots: Hanes (V) [formerly the visitor lot], Swain (NG1), Steele (N3), McCauley Street (W), the Bell Tower (BG), or Water Tower (N7). Note that the Sitterson (NG2) lot is now closed.
