Note 1. There will be a number of places reserved in the building's cafeteria (restaurant). Details will be communicated to you on Day 1 of the conference.
Conference dinner directions: The dinner will take place in a Nostitz Theater Restaurant, which is about 10 minute walk from the conference site and the nearby hotels. There are two possibilities: you either walk there on your own (map will be posted here shortly), or come to the University building entrance and someone will walk the group to the restaurant (through the historic but less-visited part of the Lesser Town - unless in the case of an inclement weather, it is a very nice walk).
