The conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency - Montréal, which is a stone throw from the Sciences and Engineering School (Complexe Pierre-Dansereau) of the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). The Hyatt Regency offers a reduced rate to attendees of MCETECH (145 $ + taxes, instead of 169 $ + taxes). To get the conference rate at the Hyatt, please go to www.hyatt.com, specify Montreal as your city, and then use the Group/Corporate #:G-UQIN. Members of CAA or AAA may yet get a lower rate.
