This is what I have for the location of the conference.

My GPS should take me close to that but will it be obvious what to do when I
arrive at that address?

How will I find the parking?

Also, I'm staying at a Salsa friend's place but if something goes wrong
(perhaps I step on her toes), what is the dorm at the same address?
