1) Venue
-----
We originally planned to hold the meeting on-site at ESA's Satellite Tracking
station in Villafranca. However, the meeting has proved very popular, with
about 130 people registering. This is more than the station can comfortably
accommodate, especially in parallel to XMM's commissioning. Thus, rather than
restrict attendance, we have decided to move the workshop off-site to a nearby
civic centre, around 1 km distance from the tracking station.
The workshop will now take place at the
Centro Civico "El Castillo"
c/ Valle de Esteribar s/n
Villafranca del Castillo
28692 MADRID
On the conference web site a telephone number will be posted shortly,
where messages can be left during conference hours for participants.
All activities related to the workshop will be made there, including lunches.
A map showing the workshop venue is available at:
http://general-tools.cosmos.esa.int/iso/meetings/beyondthepeaks/venue.php
The conference will take place in the theatre located in the Centre.
Posters will be displayed just outside the room (Maximum size allowed:
A0 (1.2m height X 0.9 m width). There will be two viewgraph projectors
for the talks. A slide and PC projector will also be available on request.
2) Transportation
--------------
A free bus service will be available from the Hotel Florida Norte in Madrid
