Airport & Transportation
Airports:
The nearest international airport is Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ), about 75 miles away (1 hour 5 minute drive). Link to map.
​
We are able to offer limited complementary “shuttle” transportation between ABQ and the conference site in Socorro. We highly recommend using this transportation, as ride-share services as well as train service are very limited in the area. As an alternative, you may consider booking a rental car. ABQ has all of the major rental car agencies, located here.
Visa
A foreign national traveling to the United States to conduct temporary business may need a visitor visa, (B-1) unless qualifying for entry under the Visa Waiver Program. Attendees are responsible for securing their appropriate visa. Please contact us at info@isott2024.com, if you require an invitation letter to accompany your visa application.
