Venue
All conference presentations at SALT 29 will take place in the historic Royce Hall of UCLA's campus (pdf map; interactive map). Talks and poster sessions will be held in Royce 314. The nearby library and outdoor loggia in Royce 306 will be available on Days 2 and 3 of the conference as a salon and happy hour venue.
On Saturday night, there will be a conference dinner in the California Room of the nearby UCLA Faculty Center. Dinner is available only to registered conference participants.
SALT 29 will overlap with the UCLA Centennial Celebration on May 18. We encourage participants to book accommodations early and take public transportation to campus, if possible.
Travel
The best options for traveling to Westwood from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is to take a cab or ride share car. An alternative option is to take the LAX Flyaway to Westwood Village commuter bus.

Food
For Friday and Saturday lunches, there are a number of restaurants on campus that are convenient to get to. The ones on North Campus and Central Campus are particularly close by, although note that the North Campus restaurants are closed on Saturdays, so we recommend restaurants in the Ackerman Union on that day.
There are a variety of restaurants in Westwood within walking distance for dinner on Friday. We recommend one of these.
A list of cafes on campus can be found here. All of this information will also be distributed in registration packets upon arrival.
Parking
The parking structures nearest to Royce Hall are Lots P2 and P5. P2 is accessible most directly from Sunset Blvd., and P5 is accessible most directly from Hilgard Ave. For both structures, you will need to purchase a daily parking pass from a parking booth on campus; details here.
