Information in a Networked World: Harnessing the Flow
Washington, DC, November 2 - 8
Recognizing the uncertainty regarding travel in the wake of last week's tragic
events, we have extended the "early" registration deadline from September 21
to September 28.

Currently Washington's Reagan National Airport is closed. Though it is expected
to re-open, there may be restrictions on incoming flights.
Alternatives to National:
Washington Dulles Airport: Has shuttle buses (Washington Flyer) to the Washington
subway system, Metro. The Orange Line from West Falls Church requires no transfer
to get to Metro Center, the closest to the J.W.Marriott Hotel. The cost from
Dulles to the West Falls Church Metro stop is $8 one way, $14 round trip, takes
25-30 minutes and runs every 30 minutes. [Recently Washington Flyer discontinued
service to the downtown hotels.] The URL for the Washington Metrorail system
is http://www.wmata.com/
Baltimore Washington Airport (BWI): (There usually are less expensive fares into
and out of BWI than to either Dulles or Reagan National airports.)
SuperShuttle service is available to and from most hotels in the Washington
D.C. Tickets can be purchased at the WCC terminal at Super Shuttle's BWI Airport
transportation desk located in the baggage claim level of Pier C. To arrange
service to BWI, reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance by calling
1-800-BLUE-VAN (1-800-258-3826). Rates range from $26 to $32 each way; additional
passengers $8 each way. Express Service fare is $24 one-way, and $40 round
trip per person.
