Hotel and Travel Information for 2015 Center for Values Conference

VENUE

The conference will be held on the University of Texas at Dallas’ campus in one of the Residence Halls. More info on the specific location to come.

LODGINGS

We suggest attendees stay in the on-campus dormitories. These suite-style rooms will be just upstairs from the conference location. Many past attendees have told us that this is the best option for our conference. You can sign up for on-campus housing when you register for the conference.

For those of you interested in accommodations at nearby Hyatt Regency North Dallas Hotel, unfortunately this year the Hyatt is unable to provide us with a block of rooms, but they do have a few rooms available for the duration of the conference. We just must act quickly to  reserve them.  You can make the reservation yourself by going to the Hyatt website. Select special rates, and choose option “special corporate rate” and use this code: 48147.

The rate is $91/night plus tax, but it doesn’t include breakfast. We will have the shuttle service for those who decide to stay at Hyatt.
