Conference Location: State Hall and Upper DeRoy Auditorium, on Main Campus of Wayne State University. Click here for maps. Then click on specific parts of the map to get more detailed information. Eventually you should be able to see State Hall, which is on the southeast corner of the WSU Main Campus.

All the special sessions will be on the first floor of State Hall which is on the west side of Cass Avenue, north of Warren. Cass is one block west of Woodward. The invited addresses will be in Upper Deroy Auditorium which is directly north of State Hall, but not on Cass. How to get to State Hall? It is one short block north of Warren Ave on Cass Ave. Warren Ave is east-west and Cass Ave is north-south.

Parking Information:
The most convenient place to park would be the parking lot ("Lot K") at the southeast corner of Cass and Putnam (Putnam being one block north of Warren). It may be possible to park there on Friday, and it should be possible to park there on Saturday. If that is not available, participants can park in the structure ("Parking Structure I") on the northeast corner of Cass and Palmer at the north end of the main campus.

You can drive through the visitor's entrance of the Parking Structures without using a parking card. The gate will open automatically when you drive in. However, exiting the Parking Structures requires a parking card. You may purchase a parking card (using a $1 bill) at many Parking Structures, or the Student Center Building. Hotel Information:

Commuter Transportation (313-941-3252) provides shuttle service from the airport to the hotels with fares being about $13 one-way. Taxi is about $35.
When you make a reservation, state that you are with the American Mathematical Society Conference. _____
