HOUSING AND DINING

The ISI 09 meetings will be held in the McCarthy Terault Lecture Room, 2245, at the Simon Fraser University downtown Vancouver campus at Harbour Centre, 515 Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6B5K3.

There are many hotels in the area around the conference site: we are in downtown Vancouver.

Accommodations:

-be aware that as you move east of Cambie street along Hastings the surrounding neighbourhood becomes potentially uncomfortable (this doesn’t apply to Gastown 1 block north of Hastings)

-most any location in the city center should be a maximum of 25-30 minutes walk from SFU Harbour Center so you need not stay in the immediate vicinity of the conference location

-rapid transit (“skytrain”) stops 2 blocks (Waterfront Station) from SFU Harbour Center
