Flights

For those flying, we recommend flying into Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). The metro offers a train to the city from which the university is accessible, or taxis are available.

Rail

Regional rail routes, or rails from NYC or from the south, will transport you to the 30th street station, 7-8 blocks from the Inn at Penn and the conference location.

Taxis from both the PHL and the 30th street station are available from nearby taxi stands.
