NC Peer Educator Conference 2025: Conference Logistics

We are excited to welcome you to NC State's campus for this year's conference! For additional information regarding the event, please see below.

Important Information to Note: The April 5th conference date coincides with the annual Dreamville Festival that will be held on the Doreatha Dix campus in Downtown Raleigh. Due to the large nature of this event, an increase in traffic on and around Centennial Campus is expected.

As such, we have included travel suggestions below in order to avoid congested areas.

Driving Directions

When using Google or Apple Maps to navigate to campus, it is recommended to use the D.H. Hill Jr. Library as your end destination.

Avoid getting off at Exit 297 – Lake Wheeler Road; Farmers Market in order to miss most of the festival traffic.
