By Air: The conference site is conveniently located between two major airports that service the Dallas/Fort Worth area: Dallas Love Field (DAL) and DFW International Airport (DFW).
DAL is primarily serviced by Southwest Airlines and is only a few miles from the conference site. DFW has many flights from nearly all domestic cities and is about a 35-minute drive from Downtown Dallas.
From the airport: Both airports have Uber and Lyft locations readily available, as well as cabs and other transportation. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) light rail runs every 20 minutes and takes about one hour, one way. DART rail operates between 5 a.m. and midnight daily.
Travel Assistance: The Center for Vital Longevity offers a limited number of Sallie P. Asche Travel Assistance Awards to support the travel of graduate students and postdocs to the Dallas Aging & Cognition Conference.
This year we are proud to offer a limited number of International Travel Awards for individuals holding independent appointments at universities or research establishments outside the U.S. and Canada.
