A few random questions on the meeting logistics:

- The web page states that we can pay the $60 at the event. Can we use credit cards at the meeting, or can we only pay by check at the meeting?

Check is best. I think CC is possible, but then someone is going to hand carry the cc slip back to ORNL, and the receipt may need to be mailed to you.

- Is there parking available at the Chicago Microsoft facility?

I believe that there are public garages, nothing MS specific.

- Is there a shuttle from the airport to the meeting facility and/or the Westin?

I don't think so, but will check. I need to put up a wiki page for those that want to coordinate rides, just have not done so yet. Rich

Thanks!

The logistics page for the April 28-30 meeting in Chicago is up an ready for use, and can be accessed from the meetings web page (meetings.mpi-forum.org). This time logistics are a bit different. Because of the scarcity of hotel rooms in Chicago, those wanting to stay in the block of rooms reserved at the Westin Hotel must do so by April the 7th. There is NO flexibility this time around, as rooms are at premium. The hotel rate is the government rate of $188/night (this is high season in Chicago, so hotel rates are up). Also, anyone not planning to stay at the hotel must register by 4/18, so we can get the list of participants to Microsoft, for their visitor process.

Is there a code to give the hotel to get the government rate or does one just mention the MPI Forum event?
