Lunch and the dinner/keynote will be held in the Edminster Student Union Building (Bldg. 4 on the NIC Campus Map).

Driving from the West: From Interstate 90, take Exit #9/Northwest Boulevard. At the stoplight at the end of the off ramp, turn right onto Northwest Boulevard toward downtown.

At the first roundabout, go right onto College Drive. At the second roundabout, go straight to stay on College Drive. At the three-way intersection, the Edminster Student Union Building will be on your right. Proceed ahead to find the nearest parking.

Driving from the East: From Interstate 90, take Exit #15/City Center/Sherman Avenue. At the stoplight at the bottom of the off ramp, turn left onto Sherman Avenue. Proceed through downtown Coeur d’Alene about 2 miles. Just after First Street, Sherman Avenue becomes Northwest Boulevard. Proceed on Northwest Boulevard briefly until the intersection of Fort Grounds Drive (left) and Government Way (right). Turn left onto Fort Grounds Drive (formerly Mullan Road) and proceed through two roundabouts. Vere to the right onto Park Drive. At the third roundabout, turn left onto Garden Avenue, which comes to a three-way intersection in front of Edminster Student Union Building. Turn left to find the nearest parking.

Parking: Park in any Student Permit lot (blue on the map) or any Employee Permit lot (orange on the map), but not the Residence Hall permit lot (maroon on the map).
