For directions to the iWPS events, please see the
Venues page.
By Air
There are two major airports within an hour’s drive of Worcester. Logan Airport in Boston (BOS), and TF Green in Warwick, RI (PVD). We encourage you to fly into
TF Green because the fares are generally cheaper, the driving time is slightly shorter (and the traffic tends to be less god-awful).
For poets and volunteers not renting a car at the airport, we plan on offering a volunteer-based shuttle service. We will try to have a driver at the airport within an hour or so of your flight. If you plan on taking advantage of this, you MUST contact us and let us know. We will get back to you approximately one week before the event starts to confirm arrival times.

"shuttle" to
iwps2005 @ gmail.com with your name and contact information.
By Rail
There is train service to Worcester from all parts of the Northeast, if you prefer to travel by rail. The train station is approximately 1+ miles
from the hotel, so a the cost of a cab to the Crowne Plaza is pretty minimal. Book train tickets at
Amtrak .
By Bus
For the least expensive option for Northeasterners, Peter Pan and Greyhound both have service to Worcester. The bus depot is
about 1.5 miles from the Crown Plaza, so a cab ride from the depot to the hotel is also pretty inexpensive. To check out fares and schedules,
see
the Greyhound website or
the Peterpan Buslines website .
