All talks will take place in
Room 2250 (Ledden Auditorium)
in
Building 250 (HSS -- Humanities and Social Sciences Building)
on the UCSD campus.
(See Ledden Auditorium on the UCSD campus map by clicking
here
or by navigating to the
practical information page.)
Each speaker will be alloted a maximum of 15 minutes for setup +
the talk itself + questions and answers. Plan to limit your talk
to no more than 12 minutes to allow time for setup and a question or two.
Speakers using computer generated talks: Please verify
prior to your session that your laptop communicates correctly with
the projector. Speakers should begin connecting their laptops to the
projector during the question period of the speaker immediately preceeding
their talk.
Whenever possible, speakers from each session should collect
talks onto a single loptop to minimize setup delays.
Blackboards, chalk, and overhead transparancy projectors are
also available.
Coffee, tea, sodas, and light snacks (bagels, pastrys, fresh fruit, cookies,
etc.) will be available (provided fittingly by Einstein Brothers)
before the morning sessions starting at 8am, and
during the morning and afternoon coffee breaks. These will be served
in Room 2402A of the APM Building, located immediately adjacent to
the Lecture Auditorium.
A PDF of the program below (including some useful maps) may be found [ here ].
A printable version of the program alone
may be found [ here ].
