Venue

The Conference Site

The primary plenary, technical and business meeting sessions will be hosted by the University of the West Indies at St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago in the Learning Resource Center building. All concurrent sessions, exhibits, breaks and lunches will be held in the same or nearby buildings. As with most modern university campuses, most buildings have wireless Internet access to which conference participants will be able to link. View a slideshow of some of the facilities.

The City

Our host city is the Port of Spain while the conference sessions will be held in neighboring St. Augustine at the University. Shuttle services to the campus will be provided to and from selected hotels at the beginning and end of each day as well as to other social venues. Traffic can be hectic but conference shuttles will typically be traveling opposite to the major traffic flow each day. From the Hilton to the campus should take about 20 minutes.
