Venue and Local Information

Conference Venue
The conference will be held in Lecture Block, the Little Hall and the Lady Mitchell Hall at the Sidgwick site on Sidgwick Avenue in the University of Cambridge.  Technical sessions will take place in Lecture Rooms 1-6.  Lecture Rooms 7-9 are quiet rooms available for the use of MTNS participants. 
NOMENCLATURE: door signs for the lecture rooms are LB1, LB2, … which correspond to LR1, LR2, … in the programme.
TOPOLOGICAL NOTE: there is no landing connecting the North and South sides of the building on the second floor – hence the shortest path between LR4 and LR5 involves stairs.
Information for Speakers
It is recommended that speakers upload their presentations onto the computer provided before the start of the session, rather than using their own laptops.  Slots are 25 minutes so please aim to speak for 20 minutes to allow time for questions and handover to the next speaker.
