Schedule
All talks are in the Scott Hall, 5201 (Bosch Spark Conference Room). Walking Directions
-
Walk to Forbes Ave and take the road between Hamburg Hall and Robert Mehrabian CIC, and go to the point marked B on this map.
-
Enter through Newell-Simon hall go up one floor (to the 4th floor) and take the bridge to Wean hall, go up one floor (to the 5th floor) and take the 51xx corridor down to the end and enter Scott hall. The conference room is 5201 in Scott Hall.
-
If the Newell-Simon entrance is locked, you can enter Gates Hillman complex, Hammerschlag Hall, Wean Hall, or Scott Hall from one of the entrances marked on this map. Each of these buildings connects to Scott hall, and the connection is described in the above map.
-
Your final destination is the conference room marked with a star on the map.
Road Closures on Sunday due to the Pittsburgh Marathon
On Sunday 5/4 several roads are closed due to the Pittsburgh marathon, runners may near CMU when the conference starts. Arriving by car will be extremely hard. There’s more information here, and a “marathon escape guide” here. If you’re walking from Wyndham, I suggest crossing Craig Street on foot, avoiding the runners as shown on this map.

Hotel Information
- We have reserved a block of rooms at the Wyndham Pittsburgh, University Center for $209 per night, plus tax (May 3–5). The last day to get this rate is Apr 12, 2024. (Please contact gautam@math.cmu.edu if you need the reservation code.)
- You may find a cheaper rate at this hotel or a close by hotel. There are many within walking distance, and you can find a list here.
- We will have breakfast at the conference before the first talk.
Registration
Please register for the conference here. (There is no registration fee; this is mainly so we have an approximate head count for breakfast, coffee breaks, and the conference dinner. Your email will also be added to the conference announcement list.)
