The Calix2007 Conference will be held at the UMUC Inn and Conference Center on the western edge of the University of Maryland campus. Since there are limited rooms available at the Inn and Conference Center, we have arranged for accommodations both on-campus and at 3 local hotels (Comfort Inn, Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden Inn). The on-campus housing can be reserved during the online registration process. These on-campus dorm rooms are available as either single or shared double occupancy rooms. The on-campus housing is a 10 minute walk to the Conference Center. To reserve rooms at the 3 local hotels, please contact the hotels directly using the information provided below. Shuttle bus transportation between these 3 hotels and the Conference Center will be provided.
