Purpose:

This is a business meeting, not a technical conference. We do not plan to have sessions regarding lunar base design or spacecraft development. The goal for this conference is to establish program plans for the Artemis Project.

If you want to participate in development of the the Artemis Project, its supporting non-profit organizations, or participating commercial businesses, you'll want to attend. If that stuff bores you to tears but you'd still like to meet some of the people who are making the Artemis Project happen, you could have fun at Space Center Houston or rent a sailboat and brave the perils of Clear Lake.

Air Travel:

Fly in to Hobby Airport (HOU) or Ellington Field (EFD). Continental Airlines runs a shuttle flight from IAH to EFD; no charge if you fly in on Continental.

You can get here from Houston Intercontintal (IAH), but it's a long drive. Allow about 1.5 hours from IAH to the hotel during peak drive times.

Driving:

From Hobby Airport: Airport Blvd east to I-45, head south to Nasa Road One exit. East on Nasa Road One.

From Houston: I-45 South to Nasa Road One exit. East on Nasa Road One, across Highway 3, across El Camino, past the entrances to the Johnson Space Center. The hotel is on the right (south side of the road). Look for a 10-story tower with "Hilton" written all over it.

From Ellington Field: Highway 3 south to Nasa Road One. Turn left (eastbound).

When You Get Here:

Registration will be in a suite on the top floor; ask at the front desk for the Artemis Society Suite. If you get a blank stare, ask for James Sewell or Gregory Bennett. If all else fails, cruise the top couple floors looking for a suite marked "Room L", or on Saturday head down the stairs from the lobby and look for us in a large glass-walled conference room. We are not planning to use any of the big ballrooms on the main floor.

Registration Form:

The registration form below lists what we need to know to sign you up.
