The Stanford Sierra Conference Center
provides an ideal setting for the workshop. The isolated location and the
absence of distractions, such as in-room phones and television sets,
encourages extensive interaction among the Workshop attendees. Clusters of 2
and 3 bedroom cabins are nestled throughout the pines and cedars along the
shoreline of Fallen Leaf Lake. Please note that while each attendee is
assigned a bedroom, bathroom facilities within each cabin are shared. Towels
and soap are provided. All rooms have decks with magnificent views of Fallen
Leaf Lake and surrounding Sierra peaks. Please be aware of the following
items: • All participants must stay at
the camp during the workshop. • We cannot accommodate spouses or
any companions at the camp. • Accommodations are not available
at the Stanford Conference Center for any day before or after the workshop. • Smoking is permitted outdoors
only. Smoking is not permitted in the sleeping or meeting rooms. • Arrangements can be made for
those with special dietary or physical requirements. Please send your requirements
with the registration or call 315-339-3968. • A message board will be
available for incoming calls: • There are pay telephones for
outgoing calls and there are no telephones in the rooms. • Please have lunch before you
arrive at the conference center, there is no lunch available on Monday. You are expected to come prepared to participate actively in the
discussions and meetings by sharing your experiences, concerns, questions,
views, technical information, and test data, as appropriate. Your active involvement in the formal,
as well as in the informal meetings and activities, is the key ingredient for
maximizing the value of the workshop for you and your fellow attendees. Enjoy IRW! It may be cold or warm at 6000 feet in the Sierra in October. We recommend that you bring warm
clothing and a coat. Comfortable, informal dress is encouraged. No suits, ties, or high heels
please. You may want to bring
hiking shoes - there are numerous outstanding hiking trails around the
camp. A small flashlight would be
helpful to find your cabin after dark. |
