Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Greetings from very pleasant Montreal!
I hope that this Fourth and final Information Bulletin finds you all very well before you begin your travel to Montreal. We are making the very last arrangement and all is set to receive you all.
As a last minute information, here are the two ways to get to your hotels and then to the conference site:
- The most convenient and fastest way from Montreal airport to your hotel is to take a taxi ($40). It will take about 30 minutes.
- Otherwise, take Bus No. 747($9) from the arrival section of the Airport (35-40 minutes); ask the driver to let you off at Berri-UQAM Metro Station (one before the last stop); go to the Berri-UQAM station and take a metro($3) to take a metro to the nearest station to your Hotel. You may ask for directions from ticket counter staff.
- If you need to take the metro, the closest metro station to the conference site is the Peel Station. Please exit the Peel station and go to the street level at the cross section of Peel and DeMaisonnove Streets. Walk one block north (towards the Mountain) to the corner of Peel and Sherbrooke streets and walk one minute on Sherbrooke street in an easterly direction (turn to your right) to 1001 Sherbrooke Street West, where all conference activities will be held.
I wish you all a very pleasant trip to Montreal and look forward to welcoming you soon.
Kind Regards,
Hamid Etemad
