Ithaca is a major education community with a population of approximately 30,000 citizens. It lies at the southern tip of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes Region of upstate New York. The lake, forty miles long and three miles across at its widest point, is ideal for all kinds of water sports, including swimming, boating, water skiing and fishing. There are three beautiful state parks only a few minutes’ drive from the city: Buttermilk Falls; Robert H. Treman and Taughannock Falls, which contains the highest waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains. Within an hour’s drive of Cornell are the wineries at Hammondsport, the cascades at Watkins Glen and the Corning Glass Center.

The registration fee includes a ticket to the conference BBQ, which will be held at Taughannock Falls on Tuesday evening. Bus transportation from the Cornell Campus and the University Best Western will be provided.

Ithaca is served by US Air, whose terminal is located about three miles from the Cornell University Campus. You may either rent a vehicle at the airport terminal or simply take the airport shuttle to campus. The cost is $8.00 per person. Several state highways lead to the city and Ithaca is within fifty miles of the New York State Thruway.

When we receive your completed registration form and full payment for the conference, we will send you a confirmation letter and will include more detailed driving directions and a Cornell University campus map.
