The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City. The nearest airport is Salt Lake International (SLC). Taxis are always available at the exit of the terminal. Look for "Ground Transportation". The ride to campus (or the Guest House) costs about $30 (plus tip and tax).
Parking on campus (information and maps).
The Math Department
is located at President Circle. It resides in two buildings next to each other: LCB and JWB. They
are both just east of Kingsbury hall (KH) and south of the Park Building (INSCC) [these two buildings
are probably more known to taxi and shuttle drivers].
See this map.

If you do receive our financial support (in particular, if you are a plenary speaker) we will take care of your hotel arrangements. You will be lodged at the University Guest House and (unless you are a plenary speaker) will share the room with another participant.
If you prefer not to share the room, please indicate this when you fill out the registration form. Note that you will then have to pay for half the rate yourself.
Whether you receive financial support or not, if you wish to look for a roommate, check the corresponding button in the registration form and visit the Sharing a Room page.
Also only the nights of March 14-17, 2009 will be covered by the financial support. For plenary speakers the night of March 13 is also covered.
Guest House is a 15-20 minute walk from the
Math Department. Ask
the reception for directions.
You can also take the free
Red or
Blue Campus Shuttles which run every 10 minutes
during day time.
They stop at the same place, a few steps from the Guest House.
Ask at the reception for the stop's location. Get off at President Circle near
Park Building (INSCC).
Other hotels are mentioned at this very nicely compiled page of information for visitors.
