Lodging

All Check-In will be at Erdman Center located diagonally across the campus at 20 Library Place, across from the side of Princeton Seminary’s Library. If you arrive late at night due to flight delays, use the security phone located directly inside the first door at Erdman Center, and tell the security guard that answers that you are a guest at the Seminary, so that he can allow you in and give you your room key.  Along with your key, you will be given a nametag that will have your meal tickets inside for you to use while at Princeton for meals at the campus cafeteria, as well as other information that will help you during your stay.  If your travel schedule or delays require that you have meals en route, we ask that you keep the itemized receipts and follow the Expense Guidelines to avoid misunderstandings when processing your reimbursement after the event.

The dress code is relaxed for most of the workshop.  There will be a special dinner followed by lecture, and we ask that you dress in business professional attire for the occasion for the group picture.  The weather is usually humid, in the 80 to 85-degree range.  We recommend that you check the weather forecast prior to your trip.
