Guest Information
Conference Locations and Getting Around
Conference sessions will take place in McKenna Hall and the Morris Inn, located on Notre Dame Avenue (see the campus map, click to enlarge). Locations for individual presentations are noted in the schedule and will be posted on signs throughout the conference center and Morris Inn. Conference check-in is located at the registration desk on the second floor of McKenna Hall. Evening keynotes will be held in the Downes Club of Corbett Family Hall, located on the east side of Notre Dame Stadium. Please take designated elevators to the 7th floor. Doors for the keynote will open approximately 15-30 minutes prior. Please follow the instructions of the attendants.
In addition to the conference sessions, McKenna 204 will be furnished as a family room throughout the weekend to welcome parents with small children for family-friendly activities and space to take a break from conference sessions. Please feel free to visit at your leisure.
McKenna 205/206/207 will feature displays from various vendors, book-sellers, and publishers: Please feel free to visit while the conference is in session to purchase books—often at a special Fall Conference discount.
Lastly, for visitors with mobility issues, golf carts will be available to offer courtesy rides between conference locations. Please look for these carts outside the conference buildings, or ask a dCEC staff member or volunteer for assistance.
Dining Around Campus
Due to ongoing construction at Notre Dame’s South Dining Hall, no communal conference meals will be available on Friday and Saturday. While the dining halls are currently closed to visitors, conference attendees may purchase individual passes for dining hall meals at the monitor’s desk in the dining hall lobbies. Please consult the campus map for more details or view other on-campus dining options here.
Parking
Visitor parking is available by permit during regular business hours on Thursday and Friday in the visitor lot south of the stadium (please consult the campus map). No permit is required outside of regular business hours and on weekends, when parking is available in any of the open lots.
