Workshops & Tutorials

All workshops and tutorials take place in the Continental Ball and Parlor rooms 1–9 and in the Golden Gate Room 6 to 8. During all three days of workshops and tutorials, coffee will be served the entire day, such that organizers are free to schedule their own coffee breaks and lunch break. Coffee is included in the W/T registration fee. Organizers and W/T participants should make their own lunch arrangements.

Update (25th Sept 2011): Please note that the workshop sessions in conference rooms 1 and 6 have been switched with each other.
