Meals
Attendees have the option to buy daily lunch tickets to be used in the NIST Cafeteria during the lunch break.  The cafeteria is buffet style and offers a variety of hot foods, salad bar, pastas and beverages. The daily price for the lunch ticket is $15.90. Tickets must be purchased in advance and are non-refundable. There will be no on-site ticket sales.

Attendees also have the option to select their food from the cafeteria service area and pay for it with cash or credit card. This is a more time-consuming option. The main advantage of the meal ticket is to avoid delays in the service area and payment line.

 

Conference Speakers

The Conference Organizing Committee expects every speaker in a scheduled presentation to register and attend the conference.

If it becomes necessary for a speaker to cancel a presentation, he or she must try to find an alternate presenter immediately, preferably a co-author. Contact SIAM Meeting Manager Nicole Erle ([email protected]) immediately with any change to a scheduled presentation.

A “no-show” or cancelled presentation can cause serious inconvenience to the attendees and conference organizers. The committee thanks all speakers in advance for their compliance with this request.

SIAM is not responsible for the safety and security of attendees’ computers. Do not leave laptop computers unattended.

Please remember to turn off cell phones, pagers, etc., during sessions.
