Travel

ALL travellers need a passport to enter the USA, including Canadians and Americans
Many people living outside of the USA also need a visa for entry issued by the USA embassy. Please check whether you need a visa to enter the USA and arrange it as soon as possible because it may take a significant amount of time to get.

The Map & Directions page gives directions from each of the nearby airports.
- International travellers: San Francisco Airport (SFO) is a leisurely 2.0hr drive.
- Domestic travellers: San Jose Airport (SJC) is a leisurely 1.5hr drive.
- Monterey Airport (MRY) has connecting flights to several major US cities (SFO, LAX, DEN, PHX, LAS, SLC) and is less than 10 minutes from the conference hotel (taxis available).
You can rent a car and drive from SFO/SJC, or you can search the web to find shuttle bus operators that service Monterey from SFO/SJC. Monterey is a popular tourism destination, so there are plenty of options. A few of the options are listed at montereyinfo.org

Unfortunately, due to limited funds, there are no travel grants or subsidy available to anyone (including students, conference presenters, or attendees).
