Preparing for the Conference


Salt Lake City has unpredictable weather. We suggest you bring clothing that you can layer for temperatures as low as 10 degrees F and as high as 70 degrees F. Be prepared for sunshine, rain and snow. Youll also want to bring notes, electronic copies of your presentation and any other resources that you might need for your talk. We recommend that you review the comments from your commentator so as to be prepared for any follow up questions after your presentation.

Getting to the City


Salt Lake City has an international airport and is accessible by several interstate highways. You can find driving directions here or by visiting the conference website.

Getting around the City


The TRAX will be your friend for public transportation while in town. The TRAX runs through the downtown area to the University.. The Frontrummer runs from Ogden (north of the city) to Provo (south of the city). To get from the airport to the U of U, take the Green Line from the airport to the Courthouse stop. Then get on the Red line train to the University Medical Stop. For more information, visit the TRAX website. toward Ogden

Get around Campus


On the above map, four TRAX stops can be seen in green, along with the major bus routes marked along the roads. All of our on-campus events will be taking place at the Carolyn Tanner-Irish Humanities Building (CTIHB on the map). If you ride a campus bus, you will want to get off at the Student Union and walk around the parking lot (counter clockwise) toward the humanities building.

Stay on Campus

University Guest House 110 Fort Douglas Blvd Salt Lake City, UT 84113

The University Guest House, which we recommend for lodging, is also marked on the above map. It is just minutes away from the CTIHB and conveniently close to two TRAX stops for easy travel to and from the airport and conference activities.
