In addition to street parking, various parking lots and locations will be open that are not operated by the University. There will be limited pay parking available in the University Avenue Garage on a first-come/first-served basis.

I don’t have a ticket for the panel discussions; is there someplace else where I can watch them?

Yes. For those unable to attend the Oct. 8 sessions in person, the symposium will be available via live webcast.

These spaces will be open during the sessions (9-11 a.m. and 1:30-3:30 p.m.) but will close once capacity is reached.
