NUG Meeting: October 2-3, 2008

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Oakland Scientific Facility

Travel and Logistical Information

The NUG meeting will take place at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Oakland Scientific Facility, where NERSC is located. Meeting will be held in Conference Room 238. See Travel/Meeting Logistics.

Remote Participation

The meeting will be available by web conference over the internet and via teleconference. However, you must register to participate.

A web conference consists of a telephone conference and a web-based tool that displays and advances presentation slides. A text-based chat window is included in the web tool.

Details for participating remotely are available to NERSC users.

If you would like to attend remotely, you must register so we can plan accordingly. We can accommodate an arbitrary number of remote teleconference connections, but we must make advance special arrangements for more than 30. We are charged per connection, so we ask that remote participants from a single site gather in one location and use only a single connection if possible.

Technical details will be sent by e-mail to those who register for remote participation.
