Your Destination: the City of Auburn

Information on the location:

• Our primary location will be Auburn University, in the heart of downtown Auburn
• For comprehensive visitor's information on the area, check out Hometown, USA: Auburn, Alabama (also includes maps and driving directions) and the Auburn/Opelika Convention and Visitor's Bureau
• We provide free housing with your registration, but if you would rather get a hotel or motel room, Search Hotels: Auburn, Alabama may be helpful
• Auburn weather information and forecasts can be found at the Weather Underground (the commercial weather forecasting site, not the violent revolutionary faction of SDS)

Getting there

Coming from out of town? Need a ride? Want to carpool? You might want to check in at the travel section of Ailecia's SGC2001 website. It has information on carpooling and more!

You will need to check in on the [first? second? we'll let you know soon!] floor of FOY UNION. Someone will be there xx pm - xx pm Friday and xx am - xx pm Saturday to check you in, give you directions to the convention site, and give you a guide to the city and an updated agenda. Call us on our 24 hour cell number (below) if you need to make any special arrangements. We will try to provide detailed driving instructions and parking information (parking on AU campus can be a tricky affair!) to each registered participant closer to the time of the convention. In the meantime, we have instructions for the three nearest major cities to Auburn. If you're coming through...
