SCI 2023 will be held at the Rizzo Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA.

The Rizzo Center has a retreat-like atmosphere, with all of the amenities of a first class conference center and hotel. Participants from outside the region will have guestrooms in the complex, and daytime meetings and meals in the conference rooms and historic DuBose House. Meadowmont Village is within walking distance, as are buses to the center of Chapel Hill and elsewhere. More information, directions, and photos are linked below. See also this blog post with some ruminations on the importance of a place like the Rizzo Center for an event like this, and with more photos of the gardens.
