Lodging
The main hotel, which is closest to campus, is the Marriott Residence Inn Mcpherson/Duke University Medical Area. The conference hotel discount link is here. The hotel is an 8-minute walk to the conference venue. We highly encourage participants to book a room with the main hotel. We also encourage participants with limited travel funding to consider booking a 2-room suite; the room will have separate bedrooms despite accommodating two people. Two people can also consider sharing a King suite. A more affordable hotel option will be Millennium Hotel, though you will likely have to take a shuttle to reach the conference venue. The conference will be held on East Campus, so you may wish to book a hotel closer to that area. Note: West Duke Building, a central conference location, is on East Campus, not West Campus. Traveling by Air The Raleigh-Durham Airport is the closest airport to Duke. You can find information about ground transportation here. Rideshare companies and cabs are generally the best way to get to campus. The Duke Philosophy Department is 16 miles away from the airport, which is about a 20 minute drive (without traffic). Traveling by Train If you are coming from the Northeast, you may want to take a train straight to Durham. Public Transportation There are public transportation options in Durham, but we recommend taking taxis/shuttles to and from the airport. Outside of downtown, Durham is not a walkable city. |
