What you need to know to attend WiDS Puget Sound 2024
REGISTRATION
Registration in advance is required! Tickets so out last year, so register ASAP: widspugetsound.sched.com
Parking on Conference Day
Free parking is NOT available on the Seattle U campus, and street parking is very sparse in the surrounding neighborhood. Campus parking is $24 per space per day. We are looking into a group parking rate that will allow us to offer a discounted rate to people who register in advance. The conference registration allows attendees to opt in for further communication about this possibility. If you have already registered for the conference, and you did not opt in to parking communications, you can email team@widspugetsound.org to do so.
If you are a speaker at the conference, you will automatically be included in communication about how to claim your complimentary parking pass.
Here are some resources for planning your journey by public transit.
