Useful information for participants
Here is some information that will be useful before the New Researchers Meeting:
-
We are staying in McMahon Hall at the University of Washington.
After you booked your room on the Conference Services website you
should have received an email giving details about check-in times,
accomodations, things to bring, and transportation to campus. A
copy of that message appears at the end of this email and on the conference website.
- You will find a draft copy of the program, abstract, and a copy of
this email message on the New Researchers website at
http://www.stat.ohio-state.edu/~pfc/NRC/program.php.
- The first event of the week is a mixer on Tuesday 1 Aug from 7pm -
10pm. This will be held in the Pompeii room in McMahon Hall.
We would love to see you on Tuesday at the mixer, but if you
cannot attend, please make sure you are at the conference by 8:30am on
Wed 2 Aug. The regular daily sessions will be held in Miller, Room 301.
- For those people giving talks, please note that we will have one
computer set up in the room for giving presentations. The machine
(a PC) will have Acrobat Reader (for PDF files) and Powerpoint
installed. Please bring your talk on a USB key for uploading on the
machine, before your session begins. If you would prefer to email
your talk to us at <email address removed>, please do so by

Mac Users: please test your files on a PC, before you give your talk. There is a known history of font problems when certain computer programs are used.
