Lodging :
The organizers have reserved a block of rooms at the Graduate Hotel Charlottesville at the discounted group rate of $129/night ($159 for Thursday night). This is one of the closest hotels to the meeting space, located in the heart of the University of Virginia's business district called "The Corner". Chocked full of restaurants, bars and shops (but not students at this time of year), it's a great location with free transportation via the Trolley or a lovely 30 minute walk across UVa grounds. Please refer to the registration link in your acceptance letter for details on lodging booking.
Getting around.
The city-run Trolley runs between the Graduate hotel location (stop: JPA at UVA hospital) and the Aquatic Fitness Center, on a 25 min frequency. The Aquatic Fitness Center is a 10 min walk from the meeting location. We recommend the ETA SPOT app for real-time information.
The UVA-run green and orange lines also run frequently with stops close to the meeting location. Please see https://parking.virginia.edu/university-transit-service-0 for detailed maps. We recommend the TransLoc app for real-time information
