Adjourn



The local organizers have arranged two room blocks for meeting participants. Both are about 2 miles away from Tepper.

  1. Hotel Indigo Pittsburgh University Oakland ($199): 39 Technology Drive. Booking Link
  2. Hotel Indigo Pittsburgh East Liberty ($139): 123 N Highland Ave. Booking Link


There are also several recommended options that are somewhat closer to Tepper.

  1. Courtyard by Marriott Pittsburgh University Center: 100 Lyttton Ave --> 10-15 min walk
  2. Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh University Place: 3454 Forbes Ave --> 20 min walk


Unfortunately, we could not secure room blocks at these hotels because it is homecoming weekend for the University of Pittsburgh, so availability is limited. Participants are strongly encouraged to book accommodations early.
