We highly encourage all participants to fly into the GSO airport. The ES12 workshop provides shuttle service to and from the GSO airport on Tuesday (June 5, 2012) and Friday (June 8, 2012) afternoons. Information concerning the shuttle service is available here.
In addition, in case the shuttle service is not convenient for you, taxis and rental cars are available; please make your own arrangements in advance. You can visit www.visitwinstonsalem.com or the WFU Visitors’ Center for more information on cabs, limousine services, blue van shuttles, and rates.
