The Fall Conference at the University of Kansas in Lawrence is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2011.
The Lawrence conference will be at the Kansas Union. Buses may pass through the KU traffic kiosks and unload passengers at the front entrance to the Union. Buses will then need to park in Lot #300, which is located at the Lied Center on the west end of campus. There is no charge for buses parked at the Lied Center.
Delegates driving cars may park in the parking garage adjacent to and just north of the Kansas Union. Payment is made at the garage when you park.
