Travel:

Stillwater has a regional airport (SWO) with limited service (two arriving and two departing flights per day)
by American Airlines from its hub at DFW. Alternatively, one could fly to either Oklahoma City airport (OKC)
or Tulsa airport (TUL), both of which are about 75 minutes drive from Stillwater. There is no convenient
shuttle service from these airports to Stillwater though. Rental cars are recommended. If you are flying, we recommend
SWO due to its convenience. Feel free to contact the organizers for more details.
Parking:
Parking after 5 PM and over the weekend is available for free
in campus parking lots, e.g., the lot adjacent the MSCS building whose entrance is off
"South Monroe St". Please pay attention to the posted sings as some parking spaces are
restricted to certain vehicles all the time including the weekends.
Those needing parking prior to 5 PM on Friday can use the few metered parking spots available
in the lot adjacent to the MSCS building, which have limited time and availability, or use
street parking south of campus on the streets south of University Avenue. There are also a few parking
garages within walking distance of the conference location which have paid visitor parking. See
this page for details.
