The conference will be held at the downtown Holiday Inn, a four-star hotel on 420 Sherbrooke Ouest. The Holiday Inn is within a walking distance of three of Montréal's major universities: Université du Québec à Montréal, to the east, Concordia University, to the southwest, and McGill University, to the northwest.  It is also within two blocks of the famous Montreal "underground city", of department stores, shopping malls, food courts, and entertainment centers, connected through underground walkways and metro links. A map and directions to the conference rooms will be provided in this page in the coming weeks.

Montréal is a vibrant multi-cultural metropolis boasting a unique blend of european and north american influences, and a lively mix of french and anglo-saxon cultures, with plenty of opportunities to wine, dine, and shop (http://www.tourisme-montreal.org). In january, the Montréal region offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor winter sports (www.bonjourquebec.com).
