The 30th International Workshops on 

Deep-Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects  

            https://web.pa.msu.edu/conf/DIS2023/
            First Circular
            DIS 2023, the 30th in the series of annual workshops on
                deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) and related subjects, will take place at Michigan
                State University in East Lansing, MI, USA from Monday,
                March 27, to Friday, March 31, 2023. The conference
                covers a large spectrum of topics in high-energy and
                nuclear physics. The program will feature theoretical
                advances and the most recent results from experiments at
                BNL, CERN, DESY, FNAL, JLab, KEK and more. 
            The conference will be held at the Kellogg
                Hotel and Conference Center, which is conveniently
                situated on the campus of Michigan State University. All
                plenary and parallel sessions will take place inside the
                Kellogg Conference Center. The conference scientific
                program will start on the morning of Monday, March 27,
                and end late afternoon on Friday, March 31. Registration

                March 27 at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center.
            East
                Lansing is adjacent to the Michigan state capital,
                Lansing, and located at the heart of Michigan, which is
                in the midst of the Great Lakes. Many Great-Lakes
                destinations, including the lake beaches, scenic rivers
                and woodlands and local breweries are only a couple of
                hours away. The conference site and hotels are either on
                Michigan State University campus or nearby. The Red
                Cedar River passes through the campus right next to the
                conference site and features scenic biking/running
                trails through campus and to Lansing.  There are nearby
                natural areas and plenty of green space on campus and in
                the surrounding area. Downtown East Lansing (within
                walking distance) and Lansing feature diverse cuisine
                from the US midwest and around the world.

            Travel Information
            For air travel, these are the most frequently
                used airports: 
            
              
                Capital Region International Airport
                      (LAN) 
              
            
            Roughly 15 km from the
                conference site. Taxi/Uber and other app-based rides are
                commonly available.
            
              
                Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) 
              
            
            150 km away. Biggest airport
                in the area. Take the Michigan Flyer bus service (to East
                Lansing stop;  62$ round-trip & 32$ one-way); it
                takes about 2 hours. There is wifi and power available
                on the bus. Driving time is about 1.5 hours if traffic
                is light. From the East-Lansing stop, it is 1.4 km to
                the conference site. 
            
              
                Other
                    Michigan Airports 
              
            
            There are other Michigan
                airports that you may consider using, especially if you
                have preferred airlines to use, but there is no local
                public transportation. If you use these airports, you
                will probably have to rent a car to get to East Lansing.
                The other airports are: 
            Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR) at Grand Rapid (100 km), Bishop International Airport (FNT) at Flint (71 km). 
            
              
                Chicago
                    O'Hare International Airport (ORD)
              
            
            400 km away. Rent a car to
                get to the conference site (3.5 hours driving if no
                traffic) or take the Amtrak from Chicago Union Station
                to East Lansing (around 4 hours). This route is
                primarily recommended for international travelers who
                are interested in visiting Chicago or touring around the
                Great Lakes with a rental car before or after the
                conference.

            Each hotel will have its own reservation
                deadline, around February 2023. However, since the
                number of rooms available in each hotel is limited, your
                preferred hotel may be fully booked well ahead of its
                reservation deadline. Hence, we recommend booking early.
            We look forward to seeing you in Michigan!
