Travel, Directions, and Maps

Participants traveling to Houston by air, should plan on flying into William P. Hobby Airport (HOU), rather than Bush International Airport (IAH). The Bush International Airport is a roughly 45 mile, 60 minute taxi ride (cost approximately $80) from the airport to the conference hotel/University of Houston-Clear Lake, whereas Hobby Airport is a roughly 15 mile, 30 minute taxi ride (cost approximately $40) from the airport. If you prefer a rent-a-car to a taxi, all the major car rental companies are located in Hobby Airport: www.fly2houston.com/hobbyHome.

Driving directions to the University of Houston-Clear Lake campus (directions to the Candlewood Suites are identical to the campus, with the exception that the Candlewood Suites is located across the street from the UHCL entrance, behind the McDonalds).
