Accommodation, Food and Travel Info
Food
Breakfast
Everyday, before the first talk, Coffee, Tea, Bagels and Pastry will
be provided in the "Lounge" (Room 3201) which is just in front of the
Colloquim room (Room 3206) in the Math building. This is a good
alternative (or supplement!) to the Continental Breakfast which will
be provided by the Hotel.
Lunch and Dinner
Each participant will be provided with a
list of restaurants of the
College Park area. A map will also be provided. Notice that some,
though not all, of the places are not within walking distance and
carpooling will be advisable.
In addition to this, there are some good (and bad) food places on the
campus itself. Relatively good choices are such as the inexpensive and
nearby Dairy, the "classical" Adele's in the Student Stamp Union and,
heaven of the veggies and natural food lovers, the world famous
Maryland University Food Coop, also located in the Student Stamp
Union. (The "bad" places are not hard to find,
we'll leave you the task of finding -- and avoiding -- them.)
Cheese, Wine and Posters
On Thursday evening there will be a Poster session around some food
and beverage for all participants. This will be held in the first
floor of the Math building, in the so-called "Rotunda" (which used to
be the quadrant for a Foucault pendulum!)
Banquet
Thus far we scheduled the Banquet for Friday, January 11,
2001 at the Inn & Conference Center, University of Maryland,
University College. A Welcome Reception will start at 6:30 pm,
followed by dinner at 7:30 pm.
The Banquet consists of a reception with apetizers and drinks, followed
by a dinner. The dinner menu (which must be chosen in advance in the RSVP form) is a choice between the following:
The Banquet is free for Invited and Selected
Participants.
For other participants the Banquet is covered for one person by the
Conference Participation fees ($75.00 which cover also the
refreshments and conference material too).
