Conference Hotels

The Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel, site of the conference, is one of the largest university-based conference center hotels of its kind in the country. Set in the idyllic countryside of central Pennsylvania and offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, The Penn Stater, located in State College, Pennsylvania, is part of Penn State’s Innovation Park. It is situated immediately east of the Penn State exit, off the Mount Nittany Expressway (U.S. Route 322), on Park Avenue, approximately one mile beyond Beaver Stadium. (Directions and a map will be sent to you with your registration materials.)

Penn State’s University Park campus is located in the center of Pennsylvania, fifteen miles (approximately 24 km) south of Interstate 80 on routes 26 and 322. Please visit the Local Information pages for helpful maps, driving directions and distances, airport services, flight and reservation information, local weather, and things to do in State College and the surrounding region.

Rental cars and limousine and taxi services are available at the airport.
