FAQs

What are my transportation and parking options getting to the event?

Parking is available free of charge at Asilomar for those who drive (they have parking lot maps at the registration desk). Attendees have several airport options: Monterey (MRY), San Jose (SJC) and San Francisco (SFO) are the most popular. From MRY, you can take a cab/Uber to Asilomar. From SJC or SFO, you can take the Monterey Airbus Shuttle. Many SEA attendees elect to rent a car, particularly when traveling in groups.

What housing and meal accommodations are available for the event?

A dedicated website is available for attendees to book their hotel rooms online. Single- and double-occupancy rooms are available. SEA attendees may also use the online reservation system to request a roommate.

Meals begin with dinner on the arrival date and end with lunch on departure date, and all meals are included with your housing fee.

Here is more information about the lodging and meals at Asilomar.

If Asilomar sells out for the weekend, please make reservations at either Rosedale Inn or Deer Haven. Both establishments offer lodging close to Asilomar.

What is the structure of the conference?

The conference starts on Friday afternoon and ends with lunch on Sunday. During that time there are a series of panel presentations (typically with 4-5 papers per panel) and a dedicated time slot for attendees to visit with poster presenters to discuss their research projects. There are also evening presentations by keynote speakers following the group dinners on Friday and Saturday. There are no concurrent sessions, which means everyone attends all of the sessions, which are held in the same room. This along with the shared meals and times for informal socializing during breaks and after the keynote sessions provides many opportunities for conference attendees and presenters to get to know each other. A link to this year's program will be available here. Information from past years is available here.

What is the theme of the conference?

This year's theme of "The Limits of American Education's Promise" will run throughout all presentations, including the two keynote addresses. The deadline for submissions has passed.
