For individuals traveling to London for the conference, we offer the following suggestions & general information:
Accomodations
Each summer, Western offers accommodations in one of the on-campus dorms. Rates start at $65/night, and can be reserved online.

Transportation
Our local airport code is YXU (London, Ontario, Canada). It can sometimes be less expensive to fly into either Toronto or Detroit, then take an airport shuttle van (Robert Q) into London.
The London Transit Commission has several bus routes (2, 6, 9C, 10, 13, 31, 32, 33 and 34) that drop off somewhere on or near the university. Buses tend to run every 15 to 30 minutes (depending on the line, and day of the week). View a map of bus routes in London, and refer to this web app for an estimated bus arrival time for all stops.
Conference Location
The conference will take place at Western University in the North Campus Building, Room 295. The North Campus Building is located on Perth Drive, near the Labatt Visual Arts Building. A map of campus visitor parking is available here, and the Western accessibility map is available here.
