The event will be held at the University of Iowa College of Law, which is located at 130 Byington Road, Iowa City, IA 52242. Attendance is available in person at the Boyd Law Building as well as virtually via Zoom.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to Blake-Rupe@uiowa.edu.  

This event is hybrid for attendees, which means attendees can choose between attending the session in-person in the Boyd Law Building or virtually on Zoom. 

Both in person and virtual registration forms are above. The Zoom registration link for this event is: https://uiowa.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Fw8ZJM7RRPSTidI1gzYn6A 

The event organizers will be recording the virtual Zoom session on video, so that it can be displayed and distributed on the event website and on HELI's Youtube page after the event is over. That video should be uploaded in the week after the event.

Organizers highly recommend planning your arrival plans ahead of the event, as space by the Boyd Law Building is in short supply. The Boyd Law Building (BLB) has limited metered parking in front of the building. The meters can be paid using change or credit card via ParkMobile, a free mobile app. Learn more about the app here. For general information about parking and transportation at the College, the University, and in Iowa City, please see: Parking and Transportation.   

Public parking for this event is readily available at the following lots 

• Field House Lot (make sure to go in the Field House ramp entrance – NOT UIHC Parking Ramp 4) 
• Parking Lot 14  

For those parking in the lots, it is a short walk (1-3 blocks) to the BLB.  

There are also UI Cambus buses and Iowa City Transit buses that run frequently to areas close and within walking distance of BLB. You can review that option by reviewing the UI Cambus schedules, the Iowa City Transit schedules, or by looking through the Transit app, which compiles that information into one location (the app). 

We do have ADA reserved parking spots for those who require accessible parking. If you need accessible parking, please email Blake Rupe at blake-rupe@uiowa.edu as soon as possible to arrange accomodations for you.  

Food and beverages will be provided for those who register in advance for the in person attendance option. Please list any dietary limitations or considerations you would like organizers to have when you register for the event.

We welcome attendees bring a notebook and writing utensils for any reflection or note taking during the event. We also encourage you to bring a reusable water bottle and/or mug to use.  

There is no special or specific dress code for this event, but it would be beneficial to dress in layers.

The University of Iowa is strongly committed to an equitable and inclusive campus. Some of the views expressed through free speech can be offensive to members of our community.

We expect all attendees to participate in this event respectfully. If you have questions or concerns about these policies, please contact HELI at lawmail-HELI@uiowa.edu to learn more.

Masks are available at the entrance to the Boyd Law Building and all UI buildings.
