Your designated ATPESC administrative support contact will contact you directly after you register with the details regarding your travel itinerary.
Lodging is at the single-occupancy ATPESC group rate at the event venue. Your ATPESC support contact will handle your lodging arrangements via our online registration system. Lodging dates covered are: Sunday, July 31 through Friday, August 12, 2022. West coast (California, Seattle, etc.) and international travelers arriving on Saturday, July 30 will be also eligible for lodging that day. Your room reservation will be based on the travel itinerary you provide when you register. Local participants are also eligible for lodging and encouraged to stay at the event venue the whole duration of the program. Check in is 4:00 p.m. and check out is 11:00 a.m.
Please make reference when you register if you are attending with non-event travel companions, or if you require additional amenities or services (you will be billed directly by the hotel). Upon hotel check-in, the hotel reception desk will request a personal credit card for extra charges incurred to your room during your stay (i.e., companion, any upgrades, or amenities).
Daily Meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner and breaks) at the venue are provided for ATPESC 2022 Participants with the following exceptions:
Notes: Meals for non-event travel companions are not included. If you have dietary requirements, please specify these as you register.
Your flights will generally be scheduled to arrive between 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. on July 31, and to depart on August 13. When registering, please give your flight preferences. You will have the opportunity to approve your flight itinerary prior to booking.
Local participants who are driving will be reimbursed for travel expenses that represent an incremental cost above normal commuting costs. For example, Argonne will compare the mileage for your normal daily commute (home to/from work) with the mileage for your ATPESC attendance (home to/from Q Center) and will reimburse the mileage difference if the local travel incurred into additional mileage. Please provide your ATPESC administrative support contact with a Google map confirming mileage (round-trip) from your home to the event location.
