for the Seventy-First annual Southwestern Philosophical Society Conference

at The Magnolia Hotel in Dallas, Texas

Travel Information: Two airports service Dallas, DFW International Airport and Love Field.  Love Field is closer to downtown Dallas, the location of the conference, and is smaller and easier to get around.  DFW is the larger of the two, and thus can offer more flight options.  The estimated driving time from Love Field to the Magnolia Hotel is fifteen to twenty minutes and from DFW is twenty five to thirty minutes in normal traffic.  The following link provides driving directions to the hotel from both airports, shuttle and taxi information, and detailed maps.
