Prior to April 8 we reserved a block of rooms at Cook
(with check-in May 8 after 3:00 PM, and check-out May 11 by 11:00 AM).
Most of those rooms were requested by and assigned to participants prior to April 8,
when the hotel had to release any unassigned rooms to the general public.

If you wish to share a room at the Cook Hotel but you do not have a roommate in mind, please let the organizers know; we will keep a list and let you know who else might be seeking roommates.
Registration Fee
Registration fee: \$50.00. This will cover refreshments served during the conference and a catered dinner at the Delzells' house on Friday. The fee will be collected on the first day of the conference.
Travel
How to get to LSU: If you let us know several days in advance when your plane will land at the Baton Rouge airport (BTR), we'll try to pick you up. A taxi, if used, costs approximately \$25-\$30 from the Baton Rouge airport to the Cook Hotel. Uber costs \$20-\$30. If you're driving to Baton Rouge, check Google maps.
