EconCon

Travel & Accomodations

Due to limited funding, we are not able to pay for travel and accommodations. EconCon participants are encouraged to apply for travel compensation from their home institutions.

Breakfast, lunch, and coffee will be provided during the conference.

Hotel

The Nassau Inn is holding a block of rooms for EconCon for the nights of 8/18, 8/19, and 8/20. To make a reservation and receive the University rate for your stay, call the Nassau Inn at (800) 862-7728 and mention "EconCon" or our reservation number, 14652. The University rate is $132 + tax / night ($66 each if shared). Check-in after 3pm. Check-out by 11am. Cancellations must be made 24 hours prior to check-in in order for charges not to be incurred. Photo ID required at check-in for every guest. If you would like to share a room with another participant, please contact the conference organizers first so that we can pair you.

Flights

For those flying to the conference, we suggest you use Newark Airport. Princeton is halfway between Philadelphia and Newark airports, but public transportation is easier from Newark.

Rail

The NJTransit Northeast Corridor stops at Princeton Junction. From there, you can transfer to the "Dinky" train which runs from Princeton Junction to Princeton station, leaving you about a 10 minute walk from the Nassau Inn. If taking the Dinky, be sure to buy a ticket to "Princeton" and not "Princeton Junction."

Ground Transportation

If you prefer a taxi from the Princeton Junction train station to the hotel, please call the Nassau Street Taxi Stand at (609) 924-3383.

Parking

Guest may unload their vehicles with the assistance of a Bellman at the Nassau Inn's Motor Entrance on Palmer Square. Parking for Nassau Inn guests is available at the Hulfish & Chambers Parking Garages. A parking pass, which will be charged to your account daily, may be obtained by contacting the Front Desk upon check in.
