A Note About Lodging
After several years of restricted travel, San Diego is expecting a heavy 2023 tourist season. We have not been successful at securing any conference discounts. While the hotels along the beach in walking distance of the meeting venue will be more expensive, there are reasonably priced accomodations available around town. Alsohttps://www.airbnb.com/can be a good option.Uber and Lyft are suggested for transportation. It is recommended that you book your lodging soon. See maps below.
The univerisity often recommends these hotels
(I do not belive that they are honoring the UCSD event discount, but you can try!)
