WG211/M13Schedule
IFIP Working Group 2.11, Thirteenth Meeting
March 17-20, 2014, Pittsburgh, USA
The meeting takes place at CMU.
Travel
The meeting will be held on the CMU campus in the Gates-Hillman Center. Attached is a campus map for your reference http://www.cmu.edu/homeimages/campus-map/CMU_MapColor_11x17.pdf#11
The Pittsburgh International Airport is quite well connected. To Europe, there are only direct flights to Paris a few days a week.
The airport is somewhat outside of the town. You can either take a taxi (30-40 min, about 50 USD plus tip) or the 28X bus (60-80 min, every 30 min, 3.75 USD cash only, no change given). The bus takes a pretty direct route and stops directly in front of the hotels (the Hilton is at the bus stop "Forbes Av at McKee Place"). Its final stop is right in front of the CMU campus. Here is a map: http://www.portauthority.org/maps/28x.pdf
The hotels are within walking distance from campus (15 to 30 minutes), but there are many buses running along Forbes Avenue and 5th Avenue as well, especially all 61 buses which should go every 10 minutes or so. When going toward campus, you pay when exiting the bus, when going toward downtown you pay when entering. It's a bit confusing but the bus driver will tell you. Again, cash only, no change. All hotels have shuttles that you can arrange to drive you anywhere within a 3 mile radius, including campus.
