Willard Airport is the University of Illinois airport. It is just a few minutes taxi ride away from the downtown campus. The University of Illinois has an excellent bus system, so if you're only flying in for the conference, you won't need to rent a car (parking downtown is expensive and can be somewhat challenging). Willard-Champaign Airport code is CMI, and costs about $335 with American from O'Hare.

The Champaign-Urbana Train station has a $16 direct connection from Chicago, but runs only twice a day leaving Union Station at 4:05 pm and 8:00 pm, arriving at 6:15 pm and 10:34 pm respectively. Please see www.amtrak.com for more info.

Champaign is a 2.5 hour drive from downtown Chicago and a 3 hour drive from O'Hare. If you are driving in, there is parking at the Historic Lincoln Hotel, or choose one of the many parking lots nearby.

We have also booked a number of buses and limos to transport our conference guests to the hotel and to events outside of the campus each evening.
