We are excited to share Columbus and Ohio State with you all!
Below we've highlighted some of our favorite places to visit while you're in town, as well as all the details for the symposium weekend.
Travel
If you are flying to Columbus, you will arrive at Port Columbus International Airport. Most hotels have shuttles, but there are also many car rental companies available. These are a few:
Avis 
Dollar
Enterprise
Hertz
Thrifty
If you are driving to the symposium, parking is available at the Ohio Union Garage.
If you don't plan on traveling much more than to and from the symposium, you may want to use the bus system: COTA. The #2 bus runs north and south along High Street and would be helpful if you stay in one of the downtown hotels.
