To get to Baltimore from points north, follow I-95 South. Baltimore is about two hours by car from Philadelphia, four hours from New York City, and seven hours from Boston.

Once you are in Maryland, follow the directions below to get to the hotel and/or meeting location. To drive to the hotel, follow steps 1 to 10. To drive directly to the meeting location, skip step 10 and follow steps 11 to 14 instead. The links in each step will open up a new window containing a Google Street View of that part of the route.

1. Take I-95 south to exit 64, I-695 (The Baltimore Beltway).
2. Take the beltway west (outer loop), toward Towson.
3. Go 9 miles on the Beltway, then take exit 23A, I-83 south, toward Baltimore.
4. Go 4 miles south on I-83, then take exit 9 for Cold Spring Lane.
5. At the end of the exit ramp, turn left onto Cold Spring Lane.
6. You will pass two gas stations (Exxon and BP) at the corner of Cold Spring and Falls Road, then go up a hill. At the top of the hill, turn right onto Roland Avenue.
7. At the fork, stay to the left to get on to University Parkway.
8. About half a mile past the fork, you will go over a bridge over a park. Immediately after the bridge is a confusing set of double traffic lights; the second light is San Martin Drive / 39th Street.
9. To get to the hotel, continue straight through this light, staying on University Parkway. To get to the campus parking lot, take a right on San Martin Drive.
10. The Inn at the Colonnade is a brick building with a green roof, directly across from the Johns Hopkins lacrosse stadium.
11. If you had turned on San Martin Drive to go directly to the meeting, follow the curving road past the Space Telescope Science Institute. The road will curve again, and you will see a black pedestrian bridge over the road. Make the first right beyond the bridge into the JHU San Martin Garage. Take a ticket at the garage entrance; you can pay with a credit card on the way out.
12. After you park, take elevator to the level P5, which is the street level. Do not go over the bridge. Instead, turn left as you leave the parking garage on foot, and follow the stone sidewalk next to the low stone wall.
13. The path will cross San Martin Drive and turn into a brick sidewalk leading up a hill. Follow the brick sidewalk up the hill.
14. When you reach the top of the hill, The Bloomberg Center is the brick building with the green roof directly in front of you. Plenary sessions will be at the Space Telescope Science Institute building - to go there instead, make a right and a left to walk around Bloomberg, then down the concrete stairs and across San Martin Drive.
