For those who are travelling to come to the workshop, we have set aside a block of rooms at the Hyatt Regency Coralville Hotel and Conference Center. The address is 300 E. 9th St in Coralville, and their number is 319-688-4000. You can book a room for $129/night at the following link; https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/group-booking/IOWRC/G-ISA1. The reduced room rate is only good until Sat. 3/23/24 so book soon!! Please note that there is likely to be a small parking charge at the city of Coralville owned ramp adjacent to the hotel. 





At UIHC, we will be in the East Room, which is elevator D or E to the 8th floor. Once off the elevator there will be signs directing you. For parking, there is free parking available at any of the lots that are surrounding Kinnick Stadium. PLEASE NOTE, there is going to be major construction near parking ramp 3 but that ramp is still accessible to the public with no issues. You are also free to park in any of the ramps on the day of the conference as well, ramps 1, 2, or 3 will be the easiest for you to find us. We are working to see if we can get free or reduced rate ramp parking for anyone who attends the conference!
