We will be unable to provide funding if you choose the Holiday Inn or Days Inn, but many Universities have funds available for conference housing and travel and we encourage you to acquire this funding if it is available.

Q: What will be the best means of transportation to Knoxville?

A: Car Pooling! It saves energy, saves polluting emissions, and its fun! We encourage people to investigate this early and create a plan so it is not a last minute nightmare. Usually schools have "ride-share" vehicles, or "car-pool" vehicles. Sometimes it takes a certification class to drive a university vehicle, these classes are typically once a month, so plan ahead! Check out our support page for more information on how to get travel funds. Fill up a university van and caravan to Knoxville with neighboring schools in your state! Please contact our Travel Coordinator for caravan coordination so people in your state can travel together.
“Knoxville or BUST!”

Q: Does Knoxville have an airport? Will transportation be provided if I choose to finance a flight for myself?

A: Yes, the Tyson McGhee Airport code is: TYS. Though we recommend car-pooling to save energy resources, if you do fly we will provide travel to and from the airport for you IF you post us on your travel schedule!

Q: What do I need to bring for the weekend?

A: Your daily needs, bathroom toiletries, a sleeping bag, your notebook, your thinking cap, your friends and a smile! We also encourage you to bring a laptop, if you have one, as we will be offering Presentation notes and other materials in the form of CDs.

Q: I want to be prepared for the conference so my school can get the most out of it and create a winning campaign in the Spring of 2006!! Where do I start?
