If traveling by car, since this will be downtown, parking can be a little expensive unless reserving a hotel room or parking a little bit away from the venue. There are many many parking options for the downtown area though.
If flying in, we recommend using the Lyft service as it would be much cheaper than paying for a taxi to the Memphis Cook Convention Center.
