Day 0: Getting to BIRS
Task 0: get to the Banff International Research Station (BIRS).
We expect most participants will be arriving through the day on Sunday, June 8, 2014 at Calgary International Airport (YYC). BIRS is located on the Banff Centre campus. Upon arrival, check-in at the front desk reception in the Professional Development Centre building (see Banff centre map). Reception can direct you to Corbett hall where all BIRS participants will be staying. There is no official programming for the workshop on Sunday. Feel free to make use of the facilities to work on your favourite problems, meet other participants, and enjoy the grounds of the Banff centre and surrounding area.
Task 1: get your name tag.
Your name tag will be in the BIRS lounge (Room 5210) on the 2nd floor of Corbett Hall. The code to enter the lounge can be found in the email you received with the subject 14w5167: BIRS Arrival Information. Printed schedules of the program are in the same room.
