[KI-Net Conference Schedule – March 23-25, 2017](https://iastate.box.com/s/iwd5lgpqtqc7nr3guivg3ztg9we20d9z) Includes speakers, titles and schedule.

[More detailed KI-Net Conference Program – March 23-25, 2017](https://iastate.box.com/s/2bosmvhf6o3j4gq047673bx5gzk73s48) Includes abstracts of all talks.

For those of you already registered with KI-Net to participate, here is some practical information you may need to plan your trip:

Registration Fee: Please plan for a registration fee of $50 per person to cover local expenses. This will be paid when you arrive. We can accept cash (US dollars) or a check made out to Iowa State University on a US bank account in US dollars. KI-Net typically does not reimburse participants for these larger conference fees so you may want to seek reimbursement from other sources.

Lodging: Reservations at the Gateway Hotel and Conference Center will be made by KI-Net as part of the registration process. However, if you need the local address/phone number to give to people at home while you are traveling, you will find more information at the [Gateway Hotel and Conference Center’s website](http://gatewayames.com/maps-directions/).

Food: The Gateway also has an on-site restaurant, The Iowa Stater. They offer a good variety of menu
options in a reasonable price range for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hours are 6:30am to 10:00pm. Additional information regarding local restaurants and food options will be provided when you arrive.

Airport to Hotel Transportation: A shuttle service, Executive Express, is available from the Des Moines Airport
to Ames. It is approximately a 45-60 minute drive from the airport to Ames. Executive Express will pick up
travelers in the airport baggage claim area and drive you to the Gateway Hotel and Conference Center in
Ames. Go to the [Executive Express website](https://www.executiveexpress.biz/) to make a reservation or call 888-522-9899. When doing so,
select Drop off location “Ames – Gateway Hotel and Conference Center” to be taken to the proper hotel for
the conference. Round trip cost will be $86.00. Please note: You must schedule your own shuttle once your
flight plans have been finalized. They will need your flight details when booking. This expense can be
reimbursed by KI-Net.

Hotel to Conference Transportation: Plans are being made to provide some morning and evening shuttle
services from the Gateway Hotel to the Iowa State University Memorial Union where the conference will be
held. Additional information will be provided when you arrive. In addition, Ames does have a public bus
service called CyRide.

Parking: For those of you who drive to Ames or choose to get a rental car to use during your stay, parking at
the Gateway Hotel is available at no cost. Parking at the ISU Memorial Union Parking Ramp costs
approximately $12/day.

Weather: March weather is unpredictable in Iowa. As of 3/15/17, the forecast for March 23-35 is highs of 40-50 degrees with possible rain/thunderstorms. Please check for the Ames, IA forecast again prior to leaving home.
