The 50th annual American Hungarian Educators Association (AHEA) conference starts this week on Thursday.

The latest version of the program includes a map (at the end) showing a schematic drawing of the key locations (and distances) of the conference. The parking garage closest to Mather Mansion is marked on the map as East Garage. The parking deck says "permit only"; don’t let this throw you off. It is a visitor parking deck, so the user must obtain a permit (pull a ticket on the way in) to park there.
