IMPORTANT TRAVEL ADVISORY

International attendees should be aware that the immigration rules for travel to the United States have changed.  Even if you hold a passport from a country eligible for the visa waiver Program, your passport must be optically readable.

Without such a passport, you will be required to ask for a visa or you will be refused entry.

For more information, visit The Visa Waiver Program Website or contact your nearest U.S. consulate or embassy. 

UCLA Travel
Center:
We welcome you to make travel arrangements through the UCLA Travel Center. Although there are many airlines that service Los Angeles, the UCLA Travel Center will be able to provide up to a 15% discount on airfares for both United Airlines and Northwest Airlines from all areas. The UCLA Travel Center can also provide car rentals at reduced rates for all conference attendees.

You may contact the UCLA Travel Center in the following ways:

Airport and Shuttle Information:
We recommend that attendees fly into the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) or Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport (BUR). The airports are approximately 15 miles from the UCLA campus. Driving time is approximately 25 minutes or longer, depending on traffic conditions.

Car Rentals
The UCLA Travel Center can provide car rentals at reduced rates for all conference attendees.

Insurance
Neither the local organizer nor UCLA can accept responsibility for accidents that could occur. Attendees are encouraged to obtain travel insurance (medical, personal accident, and luggage) in their home country prior to departure.

Maps and Directions to UCLA:
The UCLA campus is easily accessible from the 405 freeway by taking either the Sunset Boulevard or Wilshire Boulevard exits. Once you've exited the freeway, head east on either Sunset Boulevard or Wilshire Boulevard and enter the campus at either Bellagio Drive (from Sunset Boulevard) or Westwood Boulevard (from Wilshire Boulevard). Once on the campus, signs provide additional directions to the conference facilities.

All vehicles parked on campus (except in metered parking areas) must display a valid UCLA parking permit. Commuters can purchase daily parking permits at the Sol-Gel Registration desk or at parking kiosks throughout the campus.
