On pages 4-6, you will find the address and directions to/from Iliff School of Theology and the hotel, Zoom information for online participants and presenters, Iliff parking information and map, and other relevant logistical details.
A few details for in-person attendees:
Conference sessions will take place in Shattuck Hall, just to the right and down the hall from Iliff’s front entrance.
The conference will begin on Thursday evening with a reception of light refreshments and non-alcoholic beverages in the Iliff Lobby.
Coffee, tea, and water will be available throughout the conference. Snacks will be provided during the morning and afternoon breaks on Friday and Saturday.
A light breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be served onsite on Friday and are included in your registration fees. A light breakfast will be provided on Saturday.
Parking is available on the Iliff School of Theology campus for all attendees, but payment is required (see Conference Program for details).
No shuttle is available for transportation to/from Iliff and the hotel. A sign-up is available for carpooling on the conference website, and your pre-assigned carpool driver will be in touch with you if you have signed up for this already. Pre-arranged carpooling or using Uber/Lyft is encouraged.
If you arrive on campus early on Thursday, please check in at the front desk and tell them you are with the ARL Conference. They will provide you with a temporary visitor badge until you get your conference nametag and printed Conference Program. Enjoy the space!
For online attendees: Only one Zoom link for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday sessions is needed. The link and passcode are found in the attached Conference Program on page 2. All presenters will use this same information to share presentations.
