Getting to Los Angeles

By air

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the main airport, about 30–45 minutes by car from USC and about 20–30 minutes from Santa Monica and Culver City. Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) and Long Beach Airport (LGB) are smaller alternatives. Taxis and ride-share services (Uber, Lyft) are available at all airports; at LAX, ride-share and taxi pick-ups are at the LAX-it lot, reachable by a free shuttle from the terminals.

Getting around

Los Angeles is spread out and most visitors rely on ride-share or a rental car. The Metro E Line (Expo) connects Downtown LA, the USC campus (Expo Park/USC and Jefferson/USC stations), Culver City, and Santa Monica (17th St/SMC station is a short walk from the reception venue).

Parking at USC

Visitor parking is available in USC campus parking structures for a daily fee. Details will be shared with participants closer to the conference.
