The Nebraska Union is a modern student center that is within short walking distance of hotels and restaurants in downtown Lincoln. Oral presentations will be held in the Swanson Auditorium on the second floor of the Nebraska Union, a 300-seat auditorium that contains fixed-tiered seating with a stage and built-in computer, projector and screen. ISPL poster sessions, receptions, and lunches will be held in the Centennial Room, which is near the Swanson Auditorium. The Centennial Room is a large multipurpose room that is regularly used for large luncheons and research fairs with poster viewing. Coffee breaks will be held in the Regency Suite, a large meeting room across the hall from the Swanson Auditorium. In addition to the formal ISPL venues, the Nebraska Union contains several restaurants and a coffee shop on the first floor, and comfortable seating areas for informal research discussions among conference participants. 

The ISPL gala dinner will take place at the Nebraska Innovation Campus Conference Center banquet hall, located at one of UNL’s three campuses in Lincoln, with a shuttle service provided for participants.
