Getting to the Conference
Mass Transit
From any location, use the SEPTA trip planner
SEPTA regional rail runs from the Airport to the Amtrak 30th St. Station, and then to Market East station (1 block from 11th and Market) - about 30 minutes from the airport; 10 minutes from Amtrak.
Walk one block and transfer to the Market-Frankford Line (also called MFL or el or blue line) which will take you the two stops from 11th to 5th. Then walk two short blocks to the Wyndham Hotel and Mikveh Israel at 4th and Arch. (Note that Market St is the dividing line between North and South.)
Mass Transit and a Downtown Walk
Consider walking through downtown Philadelphia.
For a 12 block walk, get off the Regional Rail line at Suburban Station.
For a six block walk, skip the MFL line and walk from 11th to 5th.
