Parking

To purchase a parking pass: Please visit the on campus parking pass website. Passes are $9.00 per day, including HST and are valid in lots P13, P14, P15 and P30 only. Parking is free after 4:30pm Monday through Friday. There is no charge for parking on weekends.

Purchase parking pass several days before you arrive to allow time for a pass to be emailed to you. This pass must be printed and placed on the vehicle dashboard while on campus. If you have purchased prior to the conference and do not have your printed pass – bring your email confirmation to the registration desk for printing of the pass – you must then return to your car to place the pass in your dashboard.

If you will be staying in one of the on campus accommodation options: Parking is included in your nightly rate and you do not need to register for a parking pass. You will receive a Green parking pass upon check-in and the front desk will advise you on what parking lots you may use.

If you will be staying at the Delta Hotel:  For those delegates who select to stay off campus at the Delta Hotel by Marriott Guelph Conference Centre, the hotel is within walking distance to campus (10 minutes).

Getting There and Away

The conference organizers are not responsible for delegate transportation, however, we do have some suggested sites that may help with your travel plans.  This list will be updated as information becomes available.  Our hope is that all attendees will carpool (or alternative) when possible to reduce the overall conference carbon footprint.
