How to get there

The best way to get to CUSP 2023 Annual Meeting is to fly to the Kansas City airport – code MCI.  

You will need to either rent a car or get a shuttle to Lawrence (~1hr drive). 

We suggest hiring 5 guys for a transportation company (https://www.5guystransportation.com/) to request transportation to Lawrence.  Their vans can accommodate up to 6 people, so you could save by coordinating with other travelers.
