Getting There
Situated halfway between Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, the city's location in the center of the state makes it ideal for those desiring to drive. It is easily accessible by car via Interstate 40, Interstate 77, Interstate 85 and U.S. Highway 52 (future Interstate 73/74).

Winston-Salem is served by Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) in Greensboro, located 25 minutes from downtown Winston-Salem. (Charlotte/Douglas International Airport is about75 miles away, and Raleigh-Durham International Airport is 90 miles away.) Taxi and rental cars are available at the airport as well as bus service. Visit www.partnc.org for more information on bus routes and schedules.

ABC Door to Door shuttle service will be offering a special rate for NCTA Convention attendees from the Greensboro airport to the convention hotels. The cost is $20/person for a one-way trip, or $40/person for roundtrip. If staying at the Marriott or Embassy Suites, this fee may be charged directly to your room. Reservations may be made by calling 336/473-3892 or sending an e-mail to tadesse@abcdoor2door.com.

Getting Around
If you're staying at the Marriott or Embassy Suites, the Benton Convention Center is just steps away. Buses for all NCTA-hosted events, such as the Farm Tours and Pre-Tour, will pick up at the Marriott Winston-Salem.

Self-park and valet parking is available at both convention host hotels. But you can also park your car and forget about it, because the Convention Center is located in the heart of the Twin City Quarter with numerous restaurants in walking distance.
