Registration
The registration desk, located in Palazzo dei Congressi (see the map), is opened on Sunday 20 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and on Monday 21 from 7:45 am to 6:00 pm.

General Information

Plenary and special lectures, of 40 minutes in length plus 5 minutes for questions and comments, are held in Auditorium

Mini-symposia and contributed talks are organized in seven parallel sessions, the lecture rooms are: Auditorium, Fermi, Pacinotti, Galilei, Room A, Room B, Room C. All the rooms are accessed from the ground floor, except for Room Fermi and Room Pacinotti which are accessed from the first floor. See the map of the lecture rooms.

Each lecture room has a laptop with Adobe Acrobat Reader, and a projector for the presentations. Microsoft Power Point is not available. Don't forget to bring the pdf file with your presentation on a USB flash memory. For avoiding technical problems and possible slowdowns, we encourage speakers to send their pdf files by e-mail to ilas2010@dm.unipi.it, with subject "slides", within June 16. A confirmation message will be sent as acknowledgment.

Lecture rooms do not have blackboards except for Room C. If you need to use a blackboard or an overhead projector, please send a message to ilas2010@dm.unipi.it with subject "special request". There will be only one overhead projector.

First-day box luncheon.
A first-day box luncheon for all participants, paid for by ILAS, is scheduled on Monday 21 at 12:40 in the lobby of Palazzo dei Congressi. Students will be welcomed to the meeting, introduced by mentors or other ILAS members.

Welcome Reception
A welcome reception will be offered by Elsevier, publisher of Linear Algebra and its Applications, on Monday 21 at 6:00pm.

ILAS Business Meeting
The ILAS Business Meeting is held in the Auditorium on Wednesday 23 at 2:15 PM.

Coffee Break and Lunch
A coffee break will be served in the morning and in the afternoon in the lobby of Palazzo dei Congressi. A light lunch is served every day in the lobby. They are included in the registration fee.
