The meeting will be held on the top floor of the Desmarais Building on the main University of Ottawa campus:
http://www.uottawa.ca/maps/building/desmarais.html
The meeting venue is a short walk from the Canadian Houses of Parliament and downtown Ottawa. There are many direct international flights to Ottawa International Airport, and there are frequent shuttles from the airport to downtown. The meeting will be held during the City of Ottawa's Winterlude festival, which includes ice sculptures, free concerts, and an 8 km long skating rink on the Rideau Canal. The canal is adjacent to the meeting venue, and ample opportunity will be provided for participation in winter activities during the meeting.
Accommodation:
There are a wide variety of hotels located within 10-15 min walking distance of the University of Ottawa, such as the Novotel, Lord Elgin, The Westin and Les Suites. Bookings can be made directly with the hotels or through websites such as Expedia:
http://www.expedia.ca/University_of_Ottawa
Average hotel prices are ~$100-$150/night. For cheaper accommodation (from $27/night), a converted jail houses the main Ottawa Youth Hostel:
http://www.hihostels.ca/ontario/1166/HI-Ottawa_Jail/index.hostel
The hostel is a 2 min walk from the meeting venue. It is highly recommended that all accommodation bookings be made early due to the Winterlude festival.
