The workshop will be held at the historic Detroit Observatory at the University of Michigan. A block of hotel rooms has been reserved at the Vanguard Hotel, within 5 minutes walk of the Observatory. Requests can be made through the registration page. The nearest international airport is DTW. More information on how to get to Ann Arbor, food recommendations, etc. will be forthcoming.
The conference dinner will be held at the Heidelberg Restaurant & Bar at 6:00 pm on Thursday. Come join for good food and drinks!
The night before the conference (wednesday night), join us for drinks at Bill's Beer Garden! Featuring a large outdoor area with picnic table seating and a large variety of drinks, Bill's is a local favorite in Ann Arbor.
We will meet at 8pm at the Vanguard Hotel and walk over together. You can meet us there (at about 8:20pm) if you'd like, but it can sometimes be hard to find your group at Bill's when it gets busy, so I highly recommend meeting us at the hotel!
(weather permitting)
