For those driving to UofA for the meeting, there is a parking garage directly east of the ENR2 building. There are some one-way streets and no-turn challenges to navigate – the most straightforward access to the parking garage is by turning onto E. Lowell St. via Park Ave. Here is a Google map link to the 6th St. Garage location.
We are looking forward to a productive workshop. We plan to start the 7th March at 9:00 AM (coffee starting at 8:30am). We will also have coffee breaks in morning and afternoon with large windows so participants can utilize them around working sessions. Lunch will be provided both days and we will send a short survey to determine any dietary preferences. There is no organized dinner on either 7th or 8th but expect participants can self organize (!) into a few movements.
