For SQuInT Presenters: Speakers will be staying either at the Athenaeum, on the Caltech campus, or the Westin Pasadena. Reservations for speakers will be made by the SQuInT organizers. There may be some additional support for students to present posters. At this time, we do not know yet whether support for any poster presenters will be available.

Conference Location

All talks are in the Beckman Institute Auditorium (building #74 area B3), which is in the north-west quadrant of the campus: click here for a campus map.

Getting to Caltech

The best options for flying into the Pasadena Area are either Los Angeles International (LAX) or Bob Hope Burbank (BUR). SuperShuttle provides regular service from LAX to Caltech. Reservations should be made if flying into Burbank by caling (800) 258-3826. Shuttle service back to the airport on Sunday can be arranged at the Westin, Athenaeum, or by calling SuperShuttle.

If you are driving to campus, parking permits will be required on Friday (permits may be purchased at the lots). You may park in any unmarked space with a permit displayed in your windshield. There should be plenty of parking in the lots north east of the Broad Center (accessible from Wilson or Michigan).

Driving directions to Caltech can be found at the following site: Driving Directions
