Venue
DeVos Place
Attendees will enjoy access to more than 50 restaurants, shops, museums, and attractions throughout downtown. Whether you spend your downtime strolling the Riverwalk, sharing a meal with friends, or exploring the local art and culture scene, Grand Rapids offers a welcoming mix of small-town warmth and big-city amenities.
The city also features DASH and The Rapid public transportation services, and the downtown area is highly walkable.
Transportation
Located 13 miles from the Gerald R. Ford International Airport, attendees will need to arrange their own transportation to downtown Grand Rapids. We recommend Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare services, as there is no hotel or venue shuttle available.
Parking
Vehicles parked at hotel lots or nearby garages will incur parking fees (see hotel information below for details).
Conference attendees may park in the DeVos Place parking garage, accessible from Michigan Street or Lyon Street. Parking is expected to be $15 per day during the conference week. Overnight parking is permitted; however, charges will apply based on the total number of days parked.
