An updated version of the schedule can be found below.
All talks will take place at the Mike and Ophelia Laziridis Quantum Nano-Centre (QNC) Room 0101, accessible from the ground floor of the QNC building. Coffee breaks will also be provided in the back of this space. There will be 2-hour Lunch breaks, during which attendees can explore local dining options (Saint-Jerome's University cafeteria, the Student Life Centre food court, the Grad House, and the "Plaza" are all options, which will be presented before lunch).
Monday evening, we will be hosting a special Trivia Night at the Grad House (on campus) starting at 6pm. We will give you all time to order food and/or drinks before the trivia truly gets under way.
Tuesday evening will be the Banquet Dinner hosted at Proof Kitchen + Lounge (in the Delta Hotel in Uptown Waterloo) starting at 6pm. You will be provided one drink ticket with your registration. The banquet is complementary to your registration, but any additional drinks are not covered.
