Amherst is a big suburb of Buffalo. All conference functions will be held in the Center For Tomorrow, which is on the Amherst (``North'') Campus, about a half-mile from its academic buildings.
As often with U.S. suburbia, a car is required to
reach most places of entertainment. Downtown
Buffalo is reachable by bus-to-subway. The
Hampton, Marriott, and University Inn can arrange excursions
for their guests. The conference web pages
have more information about local
attractions.
