Venue details

The conference was held at the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington hotel in Renton, WA. The hotel is a convenient 10 minutes from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and just 20 minutes from downtown Seattle. The hotel can be reached by public transport, taxis, sea plane and kayak!
Check-in to the hotel began at 4:00pm each day.
The event will took place on the 3rd floor of the hotel. All talks were held in the Lake Washington Ballroom. All meals except the welcome reception were held in the Bellevue Rooms.

Allen Institute Visit

On Wednesday, September 20, we took ground transportation from the Hyatt Regency hotel to visit the Allen Institute. The visit was be followed by a boat cruise on Lake Washington. Children under 18 are not allowed to visit the Allen Institute and were not allowed on the boat.
Alternate ground transportation to return to the hotel was be provided. See the map linked below for walking directions from the Allen Institute to the boat dock near the Museum of History and Industry.

Poster Presentations

Poster sessions will take place after talks on September 18 and 19.

Presenters are assigned a presentation day according to last name with A-K presenting on September 18 and L-K presenting on September 19, unless you have contacted us for an exception.
Posters will not be assigned poster numbers or locations. Easels, 40″x60″ poster boards, and clips will be provided. Poster boards can be turned in either landscape or portrait orientation.
Poster printing services will not be available onsite. Please plan to bring your printed poster with you to Seattle.
