Ontology Summit 2011: Face-to-face Workshop and Symposium - Registration, Venue and Access

Event: . OntologySummit2011_Symposium (face-to-face workshop) as a part of the NIST Interoperability Week

Venue: NIST (100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA) - Building 101 (Administration Building) - "Employee Lounge".

  • see: NIST location map & NIST campus map. (Note: the "Visitor Center" is where everyone needs to go to first to get his/her badge. If you are driving, after you get your badge, you may drive into the campus, and park in the parking lot there.)
  • See: NIST visitor information. We opted out of hotel packages because most organizations tell us that they can get the same or cheaper rates on their own. (We were told the hotels that you are there to attend a meeting at NIST, they will give you a good rate.) The NIST visitor info page provides a list of hotels and other local assets: http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/visitor/index.cfm

Date: . 18 & 19-April-2011 (Monday & Tuesday) - all day

Session Details: . see OntologySummit2011_Symposium

For On-site Attendees

Due to the fact that this event is being held at a US Government Facility, on-site participants must be pre-registered beforehand to get a pass into the NIST campus. Please register at the NIST registration page at this link. Registration for on-site participation is open until Thu 11-April-2011 ... (See below to get registered for remote participation.)

Anyone who has registration-related question could try e-mailing: Angela Ellis <angela.ellis[at]nist.gov> or call (+1) 301.975.3881

On-site attendees should plan to be at the gate of the NIST (Gaithersburg, Maryland, US) campus by 8:00am EDT on Apr-18 (day-1), as signing in, and getting there to the meeting venue, are expected to take a little time.

See: a snapshot of our List of Registrants for on-site attendance (if you just registered yourself, you may not be on the list; however, if you have reasons to believe that you may not be properly registered, please email <angela.ellis[at]nist.gov> with a copy to <peter.yim[at]cim3.com>, <steve.r.ray[at]sv.cmu.edu > & <mark.carlisle[at]nist.gov>, so we can help follow-up on the matter.)
