Visit the University of Michigan & see all that Ann Arbor has to offer!
The conference will be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan on the University of Michigan campus.
Conference activities will take place in the central campus area, in the historic Michigan League and the newly-renovated School of Kinesiology buildings. Interactive tours of the School of Kinesiology’s state-of-the-art facilities will be available for conference attendees.
Central campus is surrounded by shops, restaurants, theaters, and museums, all within walking distance of the conference venue. Public transit in Ann Arbor is a way of life – walking paths, bike lanes, rentable bikes and scooters, convenient bus routes, and autonomous taxis make it easy to get around!
As an added bonus, the conference will be held during the final weekend of Top of the Park, a free, family-friendly outdoor music and arts festival that has been part of Ann Arbor’s vibrant summer tradition since 1984. The main stage is adjacent to the conference venue for easy access!
