Other information
Past Meetings: Sara Faridi maintains a website with a list of all the past meetings in this series of conferences.
Conference Dinner: There will be an informal conference dinner on Saturday night: we reserved several tables at the restaurant Casa Grecque. The restaurant is about a 1km walk from the conference venue (see map below).
The restaurant does not serve alcohol, but you can apportez votre vin (bring your own wine). The map below indicates two locations where you can buy a bottle of wine: there is a depanneur (convenience store) right across from the restaurant that carries a limited selection of wine (limited in both quantity and quality); there is also an SAQ wine store a short walk from the restaurant.
