11th Annual Congress and History Conference

University of Georgia, May 24-25th, 2012 -- Georgia Center for Continuing Education

Travel Information:

For those of you flying to Georgia for the conference, you should book your flight and plan on arriving at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson airport on Wednesday, May 23rd. To get to Athens, either rent a car or make reservations with Groome Transportation airport shuttle service (800-896-9928 or 706-410-2363). It will deliver and pick up passengers at the Georgia Center where the conference is being held and rates are $63 roundtrip Atlanta-Athens-Atlanta. If you choose the shuttle service, be sure to check the Groome service times for Athens before making air reservations in order to avoid lengthy waits at the airport – its probably a good idea to do this by telephone rather than relying on their website.

A bloc of rooms has been reserved at the Georgia Center, 1197 South Lumpkin St., Athens, GA (telephone: 800-884-1381) for conference participants. The rate is $99-119 plus taxes depending upon the type of room requested. Please mention the conference group for this rate. The bloc will be held until April 23, 2012 so hotel reservations should be made prior to this time. For anyone driving, parking is available in the deck behind the Georgia Center at a flat daily rate.

The Congress & History Conference at the University of Georgia is supported by the Department of Political Science in the School of Public and International Affairs and Keith T. Poole, the Philip H. Alston Jr. Distinguished Chair of Political Science.
