The following information is adapted from the UCLA Luskin Conference Center website.
Where is UCLA?
UCLA is located in the charming Westwood district of Los Angeles, California. UCLA’s location just off the 405 (San Diego) Freeway gives you convenient access to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and many of Southern California’s most famous attractions.
Where is the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center?
The UCLA Luskin Conference Center and Hotel is located in the heart of UCLA’s vibrant campus at 425 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095. This convenient location is just two blocks away from the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and steps from the iconic Pauley Pavilion.
How far away is the UCLA Luskin Conference Center from the Los Angeles airport?
This Southern California meeting venue is approximately 12 miles north of LAX. Take the San Diego Freeway (I-405) North and exit at Wilshire Boulevard East. Turn right onto Wilshire Boulevard and proceed a half mile to Westwood Boulevard. Turn left and the UCLA Luskin Conference Center, a premier Los Angeles meeting venue and hotel, is located one mile ahead at end of the turnaround.
Is the Luskin Conference Center accessible by Uber/Lyft/taxi?
Yes. Provide the following address as your destination: 425 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095
A trip to LAX, just 11 miles from the conference center, typically costs $20 to $30.
Is there alternative ground transportation to/from LAX?
In addition to traditional car services, taxis and rideshare options, you may consider these alternatives:
The most economical way to get to LAX is with Culver CityBus Line 6 or, when applicable, the faster Line 6 ‘Rapid.’ This works best if you’re going to the airport with no more than a small, lightweight carry-on bag or suitcase as there is no storage for luggage on board.
Shuttle2LAX partners with major transportation companies to sell seats on shared ride shuttles that would otherwise be empty, saving passengers up to 80 percent off typical taxi fare. You will be on a shuttle with up to 9 passengers and make between one and four stops on the way to or from the airport.
UCLA Transportation also maintains a helpful list of alternative forms of transportation that includes local transit options and airport shuttles.
From Los Angeles International Airport
Take the San Diego Freeway (I-405) North and exit at Wilshire Boulevard East. Turn right onto Wilshire Boulevard and proceed a half mile to Westwood Boulevard. Turn left and the UCLA Luskin Conference Center is located one mile ahead at end of the turnaround.
From Downtown Los Angeles
Take the California-110 South/Harbor Freeway and continue onto the Interstate-10 West Freeway. Merge onto the Interstate-405 North Freeway toward Sacramento. Take the Wilshire Boulevard exit toward Westwood and merge onto Wilshire Boulevard. Turn left onto Westwood Boulevard and proceed onto Westwood Plaza. The UCLA Luskin Conference Center will be on the left.
Parking at UCLA is extremely limited. We therefore encourage alternative modes of transportation, such as carpools, car share (Uber, Lyft), public transportation, walking, biking, etc., whenever possible.
