To assist you, the Institute of Navigation has made special hotel
arrangements with several hotels in the Fort Worth area. You
can make reservations and obtain detailed information about these
hotels online via the ION GNSS 2006 Hotel Information page. Remember, you must
make your hotel reservations by September 1 to take advantage of
the special conference discount.
This year’s headquarters hotel is the Hilton Fort Worth.
Registered as a national historic landmark, the Hilton Fort Worth has
welcomed many famous and important guests. None would prove
to be more significant than President John F. Kennedy and the First
Lady, Jacqueline. Using the hotel as a backdrop, the young president
addressed the thousands who had gathered to catch a glimpse of
America’s most popular political figure. His final speech came
minutes later in the hotel’s Crystal Ballroom where 2,000 attendees
joined the president and first lady for breakfast. The rest is history.

Fort Worth: Where the West Begins! |
|
TEXANS MAY be known for
bragging, but we’re shootin’ it to you
straight. No place else blends the spirit
of the American West with modern luxury
— from cowboys and culture to saloons to
shopping, Forth Worth’s got it all. Don't miss these must see attractions:
Sundance Square
Sunup to Sundown, downtown Sundance
Square sizzles nonstop offering a variety
of restaurants, shops, theater, museums
and live music. This revitalized downtown
entertainment district is within walking
distance to the convention center and hotels.
At Sundance, something sensational is always
right around the corner.
The Stockyards
The Fort Worth Stockyards’ National Historic
District is a great place to celebrate the
romance and mystique of the American West.
The Fort Worth Stockyards’ National Historic
District covers 125 acres — 15 square blocks
of tradition, nightlife, and fun. You can take in
a thrilling rodeo. See the world’s only twice
daily cattle drive (see it at 11:30 a.m. and 4
p.m.)! Hear live country stars. Sip a cold brew
in an authentic saloon. Two-step the night
away. Shop for authentic cowboy gear. And
dine on satisfying Texas-style cuisine.
Billy Bob’s Texas
A Fort Worth landmark, Billy Bob’s Texas is
the “World’s Largest Honky-Tonk.” This place
is huge (three acres!), with its own indoor
rodeo arena for professional bull riding, a
Texas-size dance floor, dozens of bar stations,
plus restaurants, arcade games, a Wall of Fame
with celebrity handprints, and a general store.
White Elephant Saloon
Saddle up to the White Elephant Saloon, an
authentic Wild West saloon. Here you can
enjoy live country and western music and
dancing, seven nights a week. Plus, check
out the huge collection of cowboy hats on the
walls and ceilings, and the extensive collection
of elephants from all over the world.
The Cultural District
The Cultural District boasts renowned
museums and galleries featuring Fort Worth’s
unique Western heritage, from timeless
artworks to historical artifacts. It is home
to five museums, such as the Modern Art
Museum of Fort Worth and the Western
Heritage Plaza, all located in a relaxing,
park-like setting. It’s no wonder Fort Worth
is considered “the museum capital of the
Southwest.” Admission to all the museums and
galleries in the district is free.
Climate
The
temperature
averages
79 degrees
Fahrenheit
(26° C) during September
with about 249 average days
of bright sunshine and blue
skies during the warm season.
However, meeting room
temperatures may vary. For
comfort, we recommend you
dress in layers.

Air Travel and Ground Transportation |
|
Air Transportation.
The
Dallas/
Fort Worth
International
Airport
offers the most convenient

only 17 miles by ground
transportation from the airport.
This is one of the busiest
airports in the nation, with
non-stop service to more than
200 cities worldwide and an
average 2,000 flights daily.
Convention Center & Parking.
The conference will be held at the Fort Worth Convention Center, 1201 Houston Street. The Fort Worth Convention Center spans 14 blocks of the city's Central Business District and is a few short blocks from the major hotels and Sundance Square. Garage and surface parking at the convention center is $6 per day.
Ground Transportation
Ground Transportation
Taxi
service is
available
on the
upper level of each terminal.
For assistance, locate the
Airport Ground Transportation
employee wearing a white
Airport shirt. Taxi fares to
downtown Fort Worth are
approximately $52 one-way.
Several companies offer
shuttle service from the airport
to the Fort Worth hotels. We
recommend Yellow Checker
Shuttle (817-267-5150, or reservations online), which
operates every half-hour from 5
a.m. to 10 p.m. and is $15 one
way.
Yellow Checker Shuttle Discount Coupon available here.
Driving Directions from
Dallas/Fort Worth Airport to
Convention Center. Drive south
(out of the airport) to 183 west
towards Fort Worth. This will
become 121 south towards
downtown Fort Worth. Stay on
121 south to Belknap street.
At the corner of Belknap and
Houston street, take a left onto
Houston.
The main entrance to the
Convention Center is 1201
Houston street. Parking will be
available on the right.
To park in the convention
center parking garage, stay on
Houston street, turn left onto
Lancaster, and take a left onto
Commerce street. The entrance
to the parking garage will be
two blocks on the right.

Attention International Participants:
Visas and/or Machine Readable Passports are now required! |
|
We recommend that you apply for your visa
at least three months in advance due to security
related policies that have greatly increased
the processing time for visa applications.
U.S. consular officers now interview most
applicants as part of the application process.
This can add additional time and delays. Currently
there is a mandatory security check
period of 30 days for people whose passports
are issued from several countries, including
China, North Korea, and most Middle-Eastern
countries.
Furthermore, the U.S. State Department
requires citizens of many countries to obtain
visas to attend any scientific program.
As of October 26, 2004, visa waiver travelers
from ALL 27 Visa Waiver Program countries
must present either a machine-readable
passport or a U.S. visa.
To learn more about the Visa Waiver Program
& Machine Readable Passports go to:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html.
For general information about visas, go to http://www7.nationalacademies.org/visas/Traveling_to_US.html.
