Step 1: Traveling to the Washington Metropolitan Area
If you plan to fly to the conference, use either Dulles or Reagan National
airports. Another possibility is to take Amtrak to Union Station.
Step 2: Traveling to Fairfax
From Dulles, you will need to take a taxi to Fairfax. From Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and
Union Station, you can use either a taxi or a combination of metro and
buses, though the latter does take time. On the metro, take the Orange line to Vienna/Fairfax-GMU.

Step 3: Traveling between hotels and campus
When driving the 3-4 miles between the conference hotels and the GMU Fairfax
campus, it is best to use 620 (Braddock Road) and 665 (called Shirley Gate
between Braddock Rd & Lee Hwy; called Waples Mill north of Lee Hwy). One can
enter the Fair Oaks Courtyard parking lot directly from Waples Mill, just
north of Fairfax Blvd. The Comfort Inn is on the north side of Main St (also
called Fairfax Blvd.), one block east of Waples Mill.
