The George P. and Cynthia W. Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy is organizing a workshop on Strings, Branes and Holography, to be held from April 27 – May 1, 2015. This will be a small, informal gathering with about three talks per day, allowing plenty of opportunity for interactions and collaborations among the participants.
Travel Information
Easterwood Airport (CLL) is located only 2 miles from campus and offers daily flights from/to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).
You may also wish to consider flying into Houston-area airports (George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH); William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) and complete the rest of the journey (100 miles) by rental car or airport shuttle. You can arrange shuttle service to & from Houston airports with GroundShuttle.
Hotel
The hotel we have booked is:
Hampton Inn College Station
320 Texas Avenue South
College Station, Texas, 77840

We will make all the arrangements and provide the hotel with visitors details, so individuals do not need to get in touch with the hotel prior to arrival. It is around a 15 minute walk from the hotel to the Mitchell Institute.
Parking
The closest visitor parking is provided by the Northside Parking Garage, which is just across the street from the Mitchell Institute, at the intersection of Ireland Street and University Drive: TAMU Map
