Workshop Accommodations
When booking your reservation, you may need to guarantee your room with a credit card. Check with your hotel about their cancellation policy and if they offer shuttle service.
Maximizing Interactions
Both oral talks and posters are invited, please contact the organizers if you would like to present at the workshop. The program will be spread over two full days, with ample breaks to promote interactions. Coffee and snacks will be served in the poster display area before sessions and between sessions. Refreshments will be served afterwards. Lunches will be provided to further promote interaction time. Fees are only being collected to cover these catering costs.
Since conference dinners tend to offer half the quality for twice the price, we will instead coordinate reservations at one or several of the excellent local restaurants for anyone interested. We hope that participants will join us on both evenings for more stimulating discussions over dinner. Check back here for more details..
