Reception Directions
A conference bus will take you from the Hotel to IBM and bring you back at the end of the evening. The buses leave the hotel between 5:30-6pm on 22 Oct. Buses will leave around 7:30pm, 8:15 pm and 9pm to bring you back to the hotel. In case you will be coming by car these directions will help. It is recommended that you take the conference bus both to avoid getting lost in the area (quite easy to do) and to make the logistics simpler.
