Parking
The parking garage at K-State is open and MACE attendees will be able to park in the garage during our conference. The parking garage is just across the street (east) from the Alumni Center.
MACE will provide 200 parking garage passes to attendees on a first come, first serve basis. If you do not have a parking garage pass you must pay the $1.50 per hour fee when exiting the garage.
As you arrive at the conference on Thursday you can park in the garage and take a parking ticket at the entrance. As you register for the conference you can pickup your parking garage pass which is good for both Thursday and Friday, with unlimited trips into and out of the garage.
So that MACE can get as many people as possible parking garage passes we are encouraging car pooling.
If you get a parking garage pass on Thursday, leave early, or do not plan to come back on Friday, please consider bringing the pass back to the MACE registration table after exiting the garage.
Do not lose your parking garage pass, please remember to bring it with you when you return on Friday.
If you are staying in the hotel across the street from the Alumni Center we ask you to leave your car in the hotel parking lot.
This is one more item at this year's conference that is a new endeavor for us. As we work through this new process together please let us know how you think it is, or is not, working. We welcome your comments and suggestions.
