FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS:
Q1: Where do I
go if I arrive during the day on Tuesday?
A: Check in where you made
accommodation reservation. Some of you are in the IMU building.
Get a local map, and identify key buildings on campus IMU
(The Union down by the river. Part of it is a hotel); and VAN (Van Allen
Hall - the physics building - two blocks over east on Iowa Avenue).
Campus buildings are mixed in with buildings in town. The two
IMU and VAN buildings are in opposite directions from Math building (MLH)
and the Old Capitol building.
Today in the evening Tuesday
5/23, the reception and registration is in the IMU State Room, beginning
tonight at 7 pm (that is 19:00.) Mrs. Margaret Driscol from Math will be
heading up registration.
Tomorrow, Wednesday 5/24 AM there will also be registration, but
instead at VAN (the
physics building.)
It will be in the Lobby in front of the big lecture room VAN LR 1; i.e., in
from the main entrance to VAN out to Iowa Avenue.
The lecture-rooms in VAN are where the talks take place, starting
5/24 at 8:30 am. Get there early for refreshments!
If you arrive late, we will deal with that too.
Q2. How do I submit my abstract online?
A:
This site includes separate links for the purpose: one for submitting your own
title/abstract, and one for
viewing what has been submitted so far.
Q3. Who may submit an abstract?
A: If you
are an invited speaker, please go ahead and submit as soon as you can. If you
would like to
contribute a talk to one of the parallel sessions, you may also submit. You can check
with one of the organizers about the most current
information about parallel
sessions of talks.
Q4. When is the deadline for submission of abstracts?
A: April 1,
2006.
Q5. What are registration fees and registration deadline?
A: The
registration fee is $30 for students, $50 for post-docs and temporarily
employed, and $100 for permanent faculty. There is no assigned deadline
for registration yet.
Q6. What
airport?
A: Cedar
Rapids (code CID). It has lots of connections! See the GPOTS
transportation
page.
The best airport by far is the
Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Airport, also known as Eastern Iowa Airport (code
CID). The Airport
Shuttle Service, located at the airport (1-800-725-8460), charges $30 one
way to locations in Iowa City. However, if a group goes to *the same
location*, each additional passenger to that location is $10. Cabs are also
available at somewhat higher rates for single passengers, but may offer
comparable or better rates for multiple passengers.
Iowa House (the on-campus hotel
at the Iowa Memorial Union, IMU) is in walking distance of everything!
Q7. How can I pay the registration fee?
A. You must pay with cash or check. The Department has no means to process
credit cards or debit cards.
Q8. How long are the contributed talks?
A. Each contributed talk is scheduled for 20 minutes, with a 5 minute break
between talks to accommodate movement among the talks.
Q9. What sort of overhead display equipment is
available?
A. Each of the rooms in which GPOTS events will take place has a full range of
audio-visual equipment. In particular, each has a blackboard, an over head
project and an "elmo", and each has computer equipment that enables one to
project transparencies onto a screen. All classrooms with data projectors &
technology podiums are equipped with VGA laptop connections. For a detailed
list of the equipment, please visit the URLs below. Lecture Room 1 of Van Allen
hall will feature the main presentations, i.e., the hour-long talks and the
half-hour featured presentations. Lecture Rooms 1 and 2, Room 70 and Room 158
will be used for the contributed presentations.
We recommend that speakers planning to use electronic equipment should bring
back-up alternatives. Thus, for example, if you plan to connect your laptop to
a technology podium and you run Linux, then you may want also to bring
transparencies as a back up or bring your presentation also as a .pdf file on a
memory stick.
