The conference is located on the North Idaho College (NIC) campus at 1000 West Garden Avenue in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, about 30 miles east of Spokane, Washington. Check-in for the conference and all student presentations will take place in Lee-Kildow Hall (Bldg. 2 on the NIC Campus Map). Lunch will be at Emery’s Restaurant in Hedlund (Bldg. 19 on the NIC Campus Map). The awards ceremony, dinner, and keynote will all be held in the Edminster Student Union Building, the “SUB” (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. Proceed for about 1.25 miles until you see the NIC campus sign on your right at the corner of Northwest Boulevard and Hubbard Street. Turn right onto Hubbard Street. 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 (maroon on the map) or any Employee Permit lot (gold on the map), but not the Residence Hall permit lot (green on the map). The parking lot next to Lee-Kildow Hall or the metered parking on College Drive next to the soccer field is the closest parking to the conference.
