Plan Your Visit

The City of Tuscaloosa is located in West Alabama on the Black Warrior River, 57 miles southwest of Birmingham. We’ll be updating this page frequently to help you plan your visit to our wonderful city. In the meantime, or if you’d like to do your own research, we recommend visiting the Tuscaloosa Tourism and Sports Commission.

We’ve also created a conference map to help guide HighEdWeb Alabama attendees to all conference-related events and venues.
