However Argonne is much further from the hotel and not as easily served by public transportation to O'Hare. It would involve much more challenging logistics for most attendees. On Thu, 8 Sep 2011, Jeff Hammond wrote:

AON center to O'Hare is 19.3 miles, whereas it is only 7 more from Argonne, but with 90/94 traffic, Argonne is arguable closer to ORD in space-time on a Wednesday afternoon. Traffic definitely favors going to MDW from the west in the afternoon.

The hotel information for the Oct meeting in Chicago is now posted, and can be accessed from the meeting logistics page (http://meetings.mpi-forum.org/Meeting_details.php).� Please note that the cutoff date for the group rate is Oct the 3rd.�� The first two days of the meeting will take place at the usual Microsoft location in down town, but the location of the final day is still being worked out.� We expect this will be down town, close to the meeting hotel. �The registration page is still several days away from being ready.
