Getting There and Away
CWRA is not responsible for delegate transportation, however, we do have some suggested sites that may help with your travel plans. This list will be updated as information becomes available. Our hope is that all attendees will carpool (or alternative) when possible to reduce the overall conference carbon footprint.
