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.

Here are two maps of the Caltech Campus to help orient you during your visit.  The first is a snapshot from an interactive map available on the Caltech website.  The second, is an annotated version that shows the location of the Baxter Lecture Hall (site of the conference), along with some local spots for lunch or coffee.  All are within easy walking distance of the conference venue.
