As with the other Discrete Math Day conferences, there is no registration fee, and preregistering is strongly encouraged.  To preregister, please send an email to Dan Gross (grossdan@shu.edu); include your status (student, post-doc, faculty) whether you are requesting financial support, and whether you have any special dietary needs.

Directions and Parking:

Driving Directions to Stevens Institute are here; A map of the Campus is here.

Parking information: Participants are encouraged to park in the River lot located on Sinatra Drive. When you arrive on campus, ask to be directed to the River lot. Walk up the wooden stairs across the street from the lot. The Babbio Center will be the building to the left at the top of the stairs.

Do not park on the side of the streets requiring permits! Violators will be ticketed and "booted" (illegal parking fine is US$126; if your car is booted and towed, towing charges will also apply). Participants may find the metered parking side of the street to be inconvenient because they require frequent (every two to four hours) insertion of coins.
