This depends on where you are coming from. There are 5 airports within 60 miles of Sacred Heart University (Fairfield. CT). LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in New York is the closest large international airport (45 miles). JFK Airport in Queens, NY is 49 miles from Sacred Heart University. Smaller, regional airports include New Haven (HVN) Airport (18 miles away), White Plains (HPN) Airport (26 miles away), and Bradley (BDL) Hartford Airport (58 miles away).
It is often recommended that people choose, if possible, White Plains, New Haven, or Bradley as the best options for the purpose of avoiding the NYC traffic at/from/to LaGuardia and JFK.
By train, Bridgeport is the closest AMTRAK station, just minutes away from SHU.
There are numerous hotels in the general area surrounding Sacred Heart University. Most people coming to Sacred Heart stay at the Trumbull Marriott Shelton, which is about a 10 minute drive from the campus. There are numerous other hotels, including those in nearby waterfront cities for those attendees that want to come and spend adjacent time as a getaway.
The conference is within a short driving distance or Uber/Lyft ride from the campus. There is parking available on the west campus for those renting cars or driving to the conference.
The Trumbull Marriott Shelton is the most commonly used hotel by SHU families and guests due to convenience and proximity. The hotel has free parking and there is a full-service restaurant and bar. Trumbull Marriott Shelton has given us a conference rate of $145/night for a limited number of rooms. There is no requirement to stay at this hotel, as the conference is not in the hotel, but many people choose to stay at the hotel for additional networking. However, there are other options, depending on patron economic, recreational, attraction, and proximity needs. Norwalk hotels have more readily accessible nearby restaurants, for example. Some of these hotels include the Courtyard Marriott Norwalk, the Hyatt House Shelton, the Courtyard Shelton, and the Circle Hotel in Fairfield. There are also luxury hotels (& SPA) nearby (See Watershed and Delamar Westport) for those that would like to make a vacation of it. You can find additional hotel recommendations by visiting the Faifield Visitor Guide (linked below). The Trumbull Marriott Shelton link (below) will take you to the conference rate for the hotel.
