General Information

The meeting will be held in Donald Bren Hall, room 6011, from 9am to 5pm, with breakfast available from 8:30am onwards. This is the same building as our previous meetings, but on the 6th floor rather than the 4th floor. A detailed schedule will be sent out the week before the meeting - the day will include presentations on research, a poster session with graduate student researchers, and plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.

• General information about visiting the UCI campus.
• Directions to campus
• Parking information
• Listing of local hotels and UCI rates. (Note that the Atrium, which is about 5 minutes from campus is a popular choice for UCI visitors)
• The closest airport is Orange County airport, 5 minutes from campus.
