At the conclusion of the event, exhibitors are responsible for arranging return shipping of all materials. Exhibitors may drop materials off directly at any UPS, FedEx, or USPS location.

Please contact your shipping carrier directly to schedule pick-up, or for additional details regarding shipping and/or pick-up times. Please note that exhibitors are responsible for packing and unpacking all materials, and also for obtaining all required shipping labels in advance of the conclusion of the event.

Exhibit Booth Setup and Teardown
Exhibit booths will be setup on the 1st floor of the UMass Campus Center, which is an open, public area. Our convention partners will setup all booths/pipe and drape during the afternoon of Tuesday, June 3. We tentatively anticipate booths will be available for vendors to start to setup around 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 3. Vendors may also wait until the morning of Wednesday, June 4, to setup, but should have all booths setup prior to the start of registration when attendees will begin arriving. As the 1st floor concourse is not a secure area, please be mindful of any items or materials left out on Tuesday evening as the space will not be locked or secured overnight. Vendors should teardown all booths at the conclusion of the event on Wednesday, June 4, including arranging shipping of any materials as per the options above.

The 2025 OSHA Summit Schedule, coming soon!

Amherst and the surrounding area is full of many hotels, motels and bed & breakfasts. The independently operated Hotel UMass is located right in the heart of campus just an elevator ride away from many conference sessions and events, while a variety of hotel chains offer their familiar comforts a short 5 - 10 minute drive from campus on Route 9/Russell Street in neighboring Hadley. 

Conference registration fees do not include lodging, so please be sure to make your own hotel arrangements. Because the summer is a busy time of year in the area we recommend booking your room as early as possible!

Hotel UMass
$189.00 per room, per night (plus applicable taxes and fees).

Seated in the center of the picturesque UMass Amherst campus, Hotel UMass blends a tranquil countryside escape with the bustling energy of campus life, making it your ideal destination when staying in the area. Located in the Campus Center just an elevator ride from meeting spaces and amenities, including the University Store and several newly renovated dining options, Hotel UMass offers unbeatable convenience for a discounted conference rate of $189.00/room/night (plus applicable fees, currently 6% plus $1.00 per room, per night). 

Space is likely to fill fast and this discounted rate will expire on May 6, 2025, so early reservations are strongly encouraged. To complete a reservation, click here to be brought to the OSHA Summer Summit hotel reservation page. The default date is the night prior to the start of the summit, but you can change the date to your arrival date as needed. Enter the number of nights, number of guests, and click "Book Now". A new page will load and you will get a list of rooms available for you to select from with the discounted rate already applied. Click "Book Now" next to the room type you'd like to select. A new window will open where you will be instructed to enter your guest information and payment method. Note reservations are available online only: if you call to complete a reservation you will be directed to book online. However, if you wish to stay outside of the dates reserved by the conference, please call the hotel front desk for further assistance (413-549-6000). 

Note: payment for your stay at Hotel UMass must be made separately from your registration payment.

Additional Area Accommodations
We strongly recommend attendees stay at Hotel UMass when possible, as it is the most convenient option to all OSHA Summer Summit activities and is sure to make your visit here a breeze! However, if space has filled or you prefer to stay elsewhere, the Amherst area is filled with many other hotels, motels and bed & breakfasts.

Summit Location
The summit is being held at the University of Massachusetts Amherst Murray D. Lincoln Campus Center located at 91 Campus Center Way, Amherst MA 01003. Click here to obtain turn-by-turn directions from your location. Sessions and the exhibit hall will be on the first floor of the Campus Center in the Auditorium, first floor concourse, and a variety of nearby meeting rooms. Meals will be located in the tenth floor Amherst Room, eleventh floor Marriott Center, and Student Union Ballroom (located in an adjacent, but connected, building to the Campus Center). Signage will help guide you around upon your arrival to the Campus Center. 

Registration/Check-In
Check-in for registered attendees and for those wishing to register on-site will be located on the second floor concourse of the UMass Amherst Campus Center, right outside of the University Store. The program typically begins with Opening Remarks and Welcoming address at 8 a.m. in the Campus Center Auditorium, followed by 8:15 a.m. keynote address and 9:30 a.m. breakout sessions. Please check back soon for program and schedule updates!

Parking
Parking is available in the Campus Center Parking Garage. For GPS purposes, the garage is located at 91 Campus Center Way, Amherst, MA, 01003. Click here to obtain directions from your location. 

Campus Center Way is off of Commonwealth Avenue, across the street from the Mullins Center. After turning onto Campus Center Way stay to the left to go up the hill. You will see the garage entrance towards the top of the hill on your right. ** The Parking Garage is now GATELESS** That's right, no more gate tickets! All attendees will receive an email with instructions on how to register their vehicles for the garage as the summit approaches. After entering the garage follow signs to the Hotel/Concourse entrance, and enter the Campus Center using the marked walkway near the Parking Services office. If you prefer, you may park on any level of the garage and use the outdoor campus walkways to get to the Campus Center. Once you enter the Campus Center, follow the signs directing you toward the 2nd floor concourse where you will see the Summit Registration desk.

It's important that all vehicles parking in the garage register within 20 minutes of entering to avoid getting a citation.

The garage clearance is 7' 2".  You will enter on Level 3 and exit on Level 4. Note: if you require use of our loading dock, instead of proceeding up the hill to the public Campus Center Parking Garage, take an immediate right and follow the service road to the loading dock. You may quickly unload there and then will need to move your vehicle to the Campus Center Parking Garage.

This airport is approximately 45 miles (about a 50 minute drive) from the UMass campus. From Bradley attendees will need to book a shuttle service or rent a car to get to campus (see the transportation options below). 

Attendees may find additional flight options into Logan International Airport in Boston, located approximately 95 miles (about a 2 - 2.5 hour drive) from the UMass campus. While more flight options are typically available into Logan, please remember to account for extra travel time to campus. Please also be sure to organize transportation to/from the airport to campus in advance of your arrival. From Logan attendees may book one of the shuttle services below, rent a car, or travel by Peter Pan Bus. Click here for Peter Pan bus ticket purchase details and scheduling. To ensure appropriate bus service to/from campus please select "Boston (Logan Airport), MA" as your "From:" destination and "Amherst UMass, MA" as your "To:" destination. 

Transportation Services 
Shuttle services and/or rental cars should be arranged prior to your travel. Please note there are no standing shuttles that run each day between Bradley/Logan and the UMass campus so additional arrangements must be made in advance.

     - Valley Transporter, 413-253-1350
     - Seemo Shuttle, 413-586-1120 
     - Exclusive Car Service, 413-534-3505
     - Bluebird Transportation, 413-221-4512
     - Enterprise

Traveling by Bus
Amherst and the surrounding area are serviced by Peter Pan Bus Lines, Greyhound and the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority (PVTA). The most convenient service is offered by Peter Pan, so when possible those traveling by bus should book a Peter Pan bus ticket using "Amherst UMass, MA" as the destination (note the "Amherst Center, MA" stop is in downtown Amherst and will require additional travel to arrive on campus). Greyhound offers bus service to nearby Northampton, MA, located about a 20 minute drive from campus. From Northampton attendees should plan to travel to campus via a taxi service, Uber/Lyft, or PVTA bus.

Traveling by Train
Amtrak provides passenger rail service to nearby Northampton, MA, located a 20 minute drive from the UMass campus, and Springfield, MA, located a 30 minute drive from the UMass campus. For schedule information and to purchase tickets, visit Amtrak's website and select "Northampton, MA (NHT)" or "Springfield, MA (SPG)" as your arrival destination.

If you take a train to Northampton, MA, you will then need to take either a bus or taxi to the UMass campus. Both PVTA and Peter Pan buses service the area, but the bus stops are not located at the train platform and will require about a 7 minute walk. If you prefer, you may use one of the many local taxi services or Uber/Lyft. We encourage you to carefully plan your trip - including bus or taxi services - prior to your arrival as the Northampton train platform is not a train station and phone access, area maps, bus schedules, and bus tickets will not be available once you arrive. If you decide to take a train out of Northampton, remember to purchase your return ticket online prior to arriving at the platform. The train platform is located at 170 Pleasant Street in Northampton, MA.

If you take a train to Springfield, MA, we recommend booking a shuttle service, such as Valley Transporter, to get you from Springfield to Amherst. Bus services, including Peter Pan, are also available, but will require about a 15 minute walk from the train station to the bus stop. The train will arrive at the Springfield station building, located at 66 Lyman Street in Springfield, MA. This station building does have a waiting room, ticket office, quik-trak kiosk, and payphone, but we do still encourage you to plan your trip, including services from the train station to campus, prior to your arrival.
