Description:
Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic forms (TORA)
is a series of conferences hosted in rotation by Oklahoma State University,
the University of Oklahoma, and the University of North Texas. The TORA meetings
bring together the automorphic forms and representation theory community of
the South Central region to hear about recent research in automorphic forms
and representation theory. For more information see the
TORA main page.
Lecture Rooms:
Lectures will take place in Room 101, MSCS (the Math Sciences Building), Oklahoma State University. The Mathematics Department is on the fourth and fifth floors of MSCS.

The Atherthon Hotel (approx $110-120 + tax per night for single/double room). This hotel is on campus and a 1-2 minute walk from the MSCS building where Department of Mathematics is located. They offer free breakfast and complimentary airport transfer to SWO. However, their parking not free.
The Cimarron Hotel and Suites (approx. $90 + tax per night for single/double occupancy). This hotel is on the eastern edge of campus and a 10-15 minute walk

Travel:
Oklahoma State University is located in Stillwater, OK.
Stillwater has a regional airport (SWO) served by
American Airlines from its hub at DFW. The airport is conveniently located and, as mentioned above, the Atherton offers complimentary airport transfer to SWO. Alternatively, one could fly to the Oklahoma City airport (OKC), which is about 75 minutes drive from Stillwater. There is no convenient
shuttle service from this airport to Stillwater though. If you are flying, we recommend
SWO due to its convenience. Feel free to contact the organizers for more details.
Parking:
Parking is available and free after 5 PM and over the weekend
in campus parking lots, e.g., the lot adjacent to the MSCS building whose entrance is off
South Monroe St. Please pay attention to the posted signs 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 MS building, which have limited time and availability, or use
street parking south of campus on the streets south of University Avenue. The Student Union Parking Garage on University Ave is a convenient place to park (for a fee). Those staying at Cimarron Hotel would probably prefer to check in and park there and walk to the MSCS building on Friday, if possible.
