Amtrak Trains:

Get off at the Amtrak 30th Street Station stop.  Amtrak riders will need to go upstairs to the main enormous room.  You can take a Taxi to 1500 Market by going west out of the Amtrak building.  Or you can take a Septa train EASTbound (towards the skyscrapers) one stop to Suburban Station.

Septa Trains:

Get off at the Suburban Station stop. Exit out of Suburban Station by following the signs for Market Street, the lower the street number the better. If you come out on a numbered street you may need to walk a block south to Market Street. Once on Market Street, walk over to 1500 Market which is next to City Hall (white building in the middle of Market Street around 15th).

1500 Market Street Building:

Once in the lobby, you will need to go up to the security desk for the West Tower. Tell them that you are attending a conference on the 9th floor in the Penn Medicine Center for Innovation and Learning. Tell them your name – bring a photo ID in case they ask for it. You will receive a visitor sticker for the day.

Take the elevators up to the 9th floor and go in through the glass doors to where reception persons are seated. We will be using the Franklin and Jefferson Rooms. We will have two connecting rooms so that we can have parallel sessions. Once in the rooms, please go up to the Signin table to let us know that you have arrived and to get your conference name tag.

Driving in:

Each direction of travel on I-76 has its own Exit 345.
The building is in "Center City" Philadelphia just west of and next to City Hall (white building in the middle of Market Street) on Market Street.

If you are coming East(south) on the I-76 highway, then you can exit at the 30th Street Station, Exit 345. You will need to go around the 30th Street Station to get to Market Street. At the exit ramp traffic light, you will have to take a right. You will pass under a glass walking bridge and then pass under part of the train station. You will want to be in the 2nd from the left lane after you pass under that part of the station (since the left-most lane will trap you into driving around the station itself like a Taxi). If you do get stuck in that lane, you can circle around and try again. You will come up to the Market Street traffic light, take a left onto Market Street. You will cross over the river and go down the main street of skyscrapers.

If you are coming from I-76 West(north), take Exit 345 and that will bring you up a ramp to an intersection with Chestnut Street. You want to go straight to Market Street and work your way to the right lane so that you can take a right onto Market Street. At the Market Street traffic light, take a right onto Market Street. You will cross over the river and go down the main street of skyscrapers.

There may be parking in garages at 1800 Market Street (Crowne Plaza hotel 215-567-6326) as well as 1700 Market Street (Expert Parking 215-231-3155). Driving around City Hall should be avoided for sanity sake so you will want to park before it. You can then walk over to Centre Square at 1500 Market Street which has a large clothespin "sculpture".
