Important Details

Conference registration, receptions, poster sessions, and lectures will take place in, or immediately outside, of Davis Auditorium, on the 4th floor of the CEPSR/Shapiro Center, at 530 W. 120th Street, between Broadway and Amsterdam. If entering from the campus level, you will automatically be on the 4th floor. The door on 120th Street is locked, but you can enter the gates and walk up the steps to reach the campus level. For more maps and directions to Columbia University, please see the Venue and Local Travel links.

Please check in at the registration table outside of Davis Auditorium, CEPSR/Shapiro, and pick up you registration folder anytime after 5:30 PM on Monday, June 16. You may also check in on Tuesday morning, if you prefer. Your folder will contain your receipt or invoice, your tickets to the Thursday afternoon cruise, maps, an abstract log, and a program.

If you are staying in the on-campus dorms, you will need to check in the front desk of Carman Hall after 3:00 PM. Please see the Accommodation link for more information.

Any outstanding payments for on-campus accommodations or registration fees should be paid only to the NNPO8 staff at the registration table in CEPSR/Shapiro.

Speakers: We will have a Mac and a PC available for those who don't want to project from their own computer.

Contact the program committee chair Prof. Matt Stoneking with any questions about the scientific program.

Contact the workshop secretary Ms. Christina Rohm or at (212) 854-4457 with any questions about the social program.
