Location and Transportation
Location
Kamecon 2020 will be taking place on the second floor of the Adele Stamp Student Union at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD. We will be posting some signage around campus to direct people to the building, but don't be afraid to ask someone walking around where the building is! The Stamp Student Union is arguably the most well-known building on campus and most people won't mind directing you towards it.

By Metro
College Park has it's very own metro-rail stop on the Green Line! In addition, The University of Maryland has a free shuttle that travels between the College Park metro station and the University of Maryland campus between approximately 7am and 7pm. Buses come and go about every 10 minutes, making this a very cheap and reliable means of transportation. Everyone is allowed to ride this bus, and no ID is needed. The bus always makes a stop right in front of the Stamp Student Union! Don't be afraid to ask the bus driver if you're not sure what stop you're at!
Metro-buses also make some stops onto campus, very close to the Adele Stamp Student Union! You can use the Metro Trip Planner if you think bus would be a better option for you than metrorail.
