Getting to the Conference
The Woodcliff Hotel is just three miles north of the Rochester-Victor exit off the NYS Thruway, making it very convenient for auto travelers. For those traveling by train, it is 15 miles from Rochester’s downtown Amtrak station – roughly the same distance for those flying into Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport.
