Booking campus accommodation

Yvonne Clarke of the Campus Accommodation office has asked me to let you know that she can book your accommodation. All you have to do is email her (yvonne.clarke@ul.ie) giving your contact number and time-zone. She will telephone you to find out your requirements.

Room cost is €52 per night (single) including a light breakfast. Each room has own bathroom, internet, etc. A common living area is shared among six rooms.This option is also suitable for couples - they will be assigned two rooms but the rooms all have double beds.

Conference schedule

I've received some enquiries about the start time and more so, the finish time of the conference. The official start of the conference is at 9.00 AM on Friday morning May 29th with introductions and housekeeping announcements. Friday's sessions finish at 5.00 PM. Then there is a break before the barbeque (with Irish music) begins at 7.00 PM. (Please note, this is included in your registration fee, so I hope to see you all there.)

On Saturday, we start the sessions at 9.00 AM and finish at 12.30 but I hope that everyone will be able to stay for Lunch, which is included, at which we will present the Prizes for Best Paper, etc. After lunch, at 2.00 PM, Janice Sipior will chair the SIGMIS Business Meeting, to which all are welcome.

Before the Conference, on Thurs. May 28th, we will have the Welcome Reception from 7.00 to 9.00 PM at which a fork supper will be served.

I've also been asked about a pre-conference get-together on Wednesday evening - I would be happy to facilitate that, if there is sufficient interest.

If you feel like staying a little longer, there is a concert on campus given by the Irish Chamber Orchestra with special guest Richard Tognetti on Sunday 31st.
