PARKING
We've had some questions about parking. There is no free parking in Newport that we know of. The Marriott charges $40 per day for valet parking (but $25 if you booked through the conference). The nearby Gateway Visitor's Center has a public parking garage, next to the hotel, that maxes out at $24.50 per day, which is probably the least expensive option. For Gateway parking information, please see here. As noted previously, if you're staying at a nearby hotel and don't want to walk to the Marriott, taking Uber/Lyft will be even less expensive.
