Venue

Schedule and room assignments are here.

All tutorials and Classes will be held at the University at Buffalo North Campus in lecture rooms which are approximately 10 minutes walk from the Marriott and other recommended hotels.

For information regarding accommodation see here.

Taxis, Shuttle and Parking

Many of the recommended hotels have complimentary shuttle service from the Buffalo Airport. (Telephones in baggage claim area.) If you take a taxi to Park Hall, where the Information Desk is located and which is close to the other UB North Campus buildings where tutorials and classes are scheduled, ask for 'Flint Loop, UB North Campus'.

Park Hall is 10-15 minutes walk from the Marriott and the other recommended hotels. If you prefer not to walk, most hotels provide complimentary shuttle service to Flint Loop. If you will need to drive to Park Hall, please inform [1], and a parking tag will be prepared for your collection at the Information Desk when you arrive.

Information Desk

From July 20-23 (8.30am to 3pm) an information desk will be available in 135 Park Hall on the University North Campus [2]. In emergencies please call (716) 432-8676.

Internet Access

For pre-registered participants usernames and passwords for campus wifi access can be obtained from the information desk. In order to obtain access, updated anti-virus software must be installed on your machine.
