    The conference registration fee is $150 for both virtual & in-person participation.

    registration

    • Refund Policy: In particular, if you change your mind about attending the conference, you can obtain a refund of your registration fee if your request to do so is received at least one week prior to the start of the meeting.
    • Privacy Policy: No information provided while registering for the UM Physics Conference will be sold or made available to companies or organizations not affiliated with the University of Miami. You can read more here.

  • Hotel Reservations

    For registered conference participants there is a discounted room rate ($235) but local and state taxes (13%) will be added to that rate. 

    To make your reservation directly with the hotel, you may call 1-855-829-2923 and ask for the UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI WINTER PHYSICS MEETING.

    Alternatively, you may go online to https://www.lagomar.com, click the reservations tab & enter group code 2412UNIVER, then select your arrival and departure dates.

    Please note:  The cutoff date for room reservations at the conference rate is 17 November.

  • Travel

     

    While many people are still hesitant to travel, if you are willing and able to fly, both Miami International Airport (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) serve the greater Miami area.  Nevertheless, we strongly recommend using FLL to attend Miami 2023 in person because it is much closer to the conference hotel.  A taxi from FLL to the Lago Mar resort should cost less than $20. 

    If you must fly into MIA, here is some taxi and limo information.  Alternatively, if you have plenty of time and patience, you may take Tri-Rail from MIA to Fort Lauderdale (for < $5 per person) and then a taxi to the hotel (for about $20).  This alternative is     less expensive but usually more time-consuming (depending on traffic conditions!) than taking a taxi from MIA all the way to the hotel.  Of course, should you do this, remember to take into consideration the train schedule.

    The phone number and address of the hotel, the Lago Mar Resort, are given here.  No matter how you travel to the hotel, it might be helpful if you carry along a copy of this information.

    Note that parking at the hotel is complimentary, should you wish to rent a car for various purposes.

  • Restaurants

    If you do not have transportation, the conference hotel restaurants are probably your best choice.

    But if you have transportation available, you might want to check out some of the eating establishments within a short drive.  Here is a map of some local restaurants not too far from the hotel.  (Pan and/or zoom to find particular restaurants.)

    A little farther away, Las Olas Blvd has several restaurants from which to choose.  And then there is always the very rustic, Rustic Inn Crabhouse (not to be confused with Joe's Stone Crab, of course ... that's a long drive).

    Good swill hunting!
