Arrival at the Conference

At the Sky Harbor Airport, shuttles are available to bring you to the hotel. However, the cost of this shuttle will be the participant's responsibility. Get driving directions to the retreat.

(Click here for current exchange rates.) Check out the Transportation Wiki to find others who want to car pool or share a Super Shuttle for ChiliPLoP.

Check in is Sunday, after 15:00. If you arrive before check-in, you may be able to get into your room, if it is ready, but please don't count on this! Before the check-in time, you can stroll and eat lunch in the town of Carefree at your own expense. Shops and such are very close by.

For arrival flexibility on the first night, pizza will be available in the lower meeting room at 18:00 Sunday.

Special arrangements must be made in advance if you expect to arrive at the LRC after 22:00 as the doors are locked at this time (allow an estimate of 90 minutes from your plane arrival time for baggage pick-up and the shuttle journey).
