There will be limited free parking available for this seminar on our surface lot at 15^th and Olive Streets (NW corner). The gate will be up, so you won’t need to get a token to leave that lot after the seminar. Remember, though—first come, first served—and parking is no longer free at meters on Saturdays (so car pool or use Metro-Link if at all possible).
