Each fall, TCAM takes places on Cornell’s Ithaca campus. TCAM check-in will be held on the 1st floor of The Statler Hotel in the Conference Foyer, 130 Statler Dr, Ithaca, NY 14853.
Sessions will take place across campus, so we suggest bringing comfortable shoes, an umbrella, and a rain jacket in case of inclement weather typical of Ithaca.
From upscale hotels to charming bed and breakfasts, there are plenty of wonderful places to experience the warm hospitality of Ithaca during TCAM. Check out location and lodging details here.
Note: We do not have a reserved block of hotels for TCAM. The Statler Hotel is reserved for members of the Board of Trustees, Frank H. T. Rhodes Alumni Award 2025 Recipients, and certain members of the Administrative Board of the Cornell University Council only.
Be ready for the fall weather with mid-50s to mid-60s Fahrenheit temperatures. Pack versatile layers, comfortable shoes, a medium-weight jacket, and rain gear. Remember business attire, chargers, and a notebook. Stay hydrated with a reusable water bottle while networking and attending sessions.
Business casual is typical throughout the weekend, with Friday’s seated dinner leaning more formal. A break is scheduled before dinner if you'd like to change.
