đźš— Where should I park?

Parking is not included at #SCAI2026. There are Duke University visitor lots located at the Science Drive deck (closest to the venue) and the Bryan Center deck, about a 10 minute walk to the venue. There is limited space at the Science Drive deck. Those visiting from out of town may find the Bryan Center deck more desireable as its central to campus and the Duke Chapel.

Please find more information about visitor parking at Duke here. For those already on campus, we highly recommend carpooling or walking (it is an approximately 15 minute walk from the Chapel).
