Auto

Driving directions to Exeter. Parking is at a premium at PEA. If you drive to the conference, please note that you may not park in the lots in the Academic Quad or at the dormitories. There is ample parking behind the Facilities Management Center (South of the Athletic Facilities) and you are welcome to leave your car there for the duration of the conference. There is also a large lot behind the Data Center on Main Street, but please park as far back as you can (not near the Data Center itself) to allow those who work in the Data Center to park close to it. We will assist you with parking when you arrive at the on-site registration.
