Informazioni Generali sull'evento
The site of the meeting is the Hyatt Regency Hotel, in Bethesda, Maryland.
The hotel is just 2 miles (3.2 km) from the Washington, D.C. border, near the National Institutes of Health.
The hotel is situated directly above a stop on Washington’s Metro subway system, for convenient access to the Smithsonian Institution museums, the National Zoo, the White House, the Capitol, and the monuments around the National Mall. Admission is free to most of the Federally operated locations, such as the Smithsonian Institution.
There are also more than 100 restaurants within walking distance of the Hyatt Regency.
October is a peak tourist season in Washington, with an average high temperature of 69 °F (20.6 °C) and an average low temperature of 50 °F (10 °C). For that reason, reservations at the Hyatt Regency should be made early; special room rates for the meeting are $149 for single occupancy, $169 for double occupancy.
The meeting coincides with the Centennial of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly the National Bureau of Standards), located 15 miles (24 km) farther north in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Some connection between the meeting and Centennial events at NIST is planned.

Conference registration includes access to all technical sessions and the vendor display, the program and abstract booklets, two receptions, one luncheon, coffee breaks, and refreshments at the poster session.
The registration fee does not include the Banquet, which is subject to limited seating.
