Many participants are likely already familiar with Pasadena and the Caltech campus. For those of you new to visiting Southern California, and Pasadena specifically, the main airports at which to arrive are Los Angeles International (LAX) and the Hollywood Burbank (BUR) Airports. These are 28 and 16 miles from Pasadena, respectively. Flights are also possible to Ontario International Airport (ONT), however, that is farther away (37 miles). Rental cars, taxis, shared-ride vans, and ride-share services (Uber, Lyft) are available at these airports upon arrival. A taxi from LAX to Pasadena is estimated to cost about $80-$100; typical cost ranges for Uber are $55-$70.

If you are driving to the Caltech campus, details regarding visitor parking can be found here. Electric and hybrid vehicles can take advantage of charging stations located in the North Wilson and California parking structures. To use these, you will need a mobile app for OPF Energy Mobile, which can be downloaded from the Apple and Android app stores.

Here are two maps of the Caltech Campus to help orient you during your visit.  The second map is annotated, showing the location of the Cahill Center (site of the conference), along with some local spots for lunch or coffee.  All are within easy walking distance of the conference venue.
