Dinner Information

If you would like to attend the dinner on Saturday night, please let me know (rosentha@u.washington) at least a week in advance.  There may be the possibility to join us at the last minute, but it cannot be guaranteed.

Campus Location

Savery Hall is located on the main quad of the UW campus in Seattle.  You can find a campus map on-line:  http://www.washington.edu/maps/.  Parking is available on campus for a fee.

Accommodation

Accommodation is available at several hotels within easy walking distance of the UW campus.  The recommended hotel is the Watertown Hotel (866-866-7977; www.watertownseattle.com).  If you tell them that you are attending a UW conference they should give you the preferred rate of $137/night plus tax.  A nice, though simpler alternative down the street, is the University Inn (also 866-866-7977; www.universityinnseattle.com). 

Questions?

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me:  Michael Rosenthal (rosentha@uw.edu; 206-685-2655).  I hope that you can join us.
