Logistics for GUID-2

Registration

Registration is open to invitees at http://www.nesc.ac.uk/esi/events/682/. If you have been invited, please register NOW.

If you are also attending the RDF meeting you should specify in the registration for both meetings that you want to stay in the Novotel.

Accommodation

Please be certain to use the registration to fill in the hotel nights required and the budget (between 70-85 pounds it would seem). The hotel will be determined by the eSI staff. They are trying to get everyone into the same hotel, but as it is a busy time around the meeting dates, this may not be possible. It seems that most are booked into the Radisson in High Street (about a 1.3km walk from eSI)

You WILL get a conformation e-mail from the eScience Centre containing dteails of your hotel booking. Please check the details and be sure to contact for conformation at least 2 full days before arrival.

If you are also attending the RDF meeting you should specify in the registration for both meetings that you want to stay in same hotel.

Reimbursement Procedure

I've written a brief description of how to use the GBIF reimbursement spreadsheet. Details of the guidelines and the spreadsheet can be found at http://www.gbif.org/Support/travel.

Please remember that we would like you to do the reimbursement as soon as possible after GUID-2 so that we can clear the budget before June 30.
