CalConnect vCard Workshop Logistics
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
M.I.T., Cambridge, Massachusetts

Logistics Information for CalConnect vCard Workshop

Please be warned: Cambridge and Boston are extremely busy in mid-September and hotel rooms are at a premium. If you are considering attending the vCard workshop and possibly the CalConnect events in Cambridge, you are strongly advised to book your hotel room well ahead to avoid inconvenient locations and high room rates. Remember, you can usually cancel a hotel room up to a day or two prior to the reservation date, but you can't necessarily find one that late!


Location and Meeting Room

The vCard Workshop will take place on Tuesday, September 18, 2007, on the M.I.T. Campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the 20 Chimneys Room in Building W20: http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?mapterms=W20&mapsearch=go.

More information about visiting M.I.T. is available at: http://web.mit.edu/visit/.


Schedule

Breakfast will be served from 08:30 to 09:00. The meeting will begin at 09:00 and continue until 17:30, with morning and afternoon snacks and lunch at 12:30-13:30. A detailed schedule and agenda may be found on the vCard Workshop page.
