Free transportation to nightlife:

We plan to have a shuttle bus to the Durham Bulls Ballpark and surrounding area of downtown Durham, where a former tobacco factory has recently been converted into the American Tobacco Historic District, with restaurants and cafes with outdoor concerts and performances.  We plan for the shuttle bus to run from the Millennium hotel and the conference site to downtown and back for several hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.  We will update this page with more information on this service as it becomes available.
