HILT 2020 will take place on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) in Lincoln, NE.

About Lincoln: “You can hear the pride in the voice of its people and experience the momentum through its new entertainment scene. A new cityscape welcomes visitors as they enter Lincoln; a cityscape that communicates a thriving economy, expansion of new business, influx of talent and endless opportunity. Lincoln is sweeping top national rankings which are validating its success, yet its charming character and modesty still rings true.” – Visit Lincoln

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln, chartered in 1869, is an educational institution of international stature. Nebraska, a member of the Big Ten Conference and the Big Ten Academic Alliance, is classified within the Carnegie “R1: Doctoral Universities – Highest Research Activity” category.

Since UNL is located in downtown Lincoln, many businesses, restaurants, and shops are within a five to ten minute walk from the HILT locations. If you would like to use a bike, we recommend using BikeLNK’s bikeshare program.
