Lodging
We have arranged a room block with the Hilton Garden Inn Durham/University Medical Center (linked here) located at 2102 W. Main Street, Durham, NC 27705. We highly encourage attendees to stay at this hotel due to its proximity to Duke's West Campus, Friday's dinner venue, and Duke transportation services.
Please note: Lodging is not included in the registration fee and must be arranged separately by each unit or attendee.
Transportation
Transportation will be accomplished primarily via Duke University Parking and Transportation Services. MIDN will primarily be using the BlueLight/Swift shuttle to travel between the conference venue and the hotel. More information about the bus service can be found here. We also encourage attendees to download the free TransLoc app for real-time bus tracking.
For attendees who require parking information, please contact MIDN 2/C Jake Tirado at jake.tirado@duke.edu.
