Shuttle Information: We will have a GAS Shuttle that travels in a loop from the Crowne Plaza Arlington to UTA and back to the hotel. Since we will be at different venues on the vast UTA campus, we will also be using their service, the Mav Moover, to travel to our conference locations on campus. There will be a shuttle from the conference hotel to SiNaCa Studios on Tuesday night for all Firestarter ticket holders and a Thursday night shuttle to SiNaCa for the Fort Worth gallery hop (available as a $10 add-on at registration.). Friday evening, the shuttle will add a stop to Grey Area 30 minutes before to 30 minutes after programming there. Our daily shuttle will also make a stop in downtown Arlington on request before stopping at the hotel. For our Closing Night Party on Saturday, we will have a shuttle running to and from the Arlington Museum of Art and the conference hotel.
