Waterloo, Canada - June 4-8, 2018

Travel information

The meeting will be held in the Mathematics & Computer Building (MC) of the University of Waterloo.

Those coming from nearby might want to drive, here are some directions.

The nearest major airport is Toronto Pearson (YYZ). There is also a Region of Waterloo (YKF) airport, with very limited options.
