Here is some logistical information about the conference.  The page will be updated regularly.

Make sure that you refresh your browser when you visit this page.

1. Please take a minute to read over the “Summer At Skidmore Info Guide”.  It provides all sorts of relevant information such as Campus Hours, Registration, Internet access, parking, emergency telephone numbers, etc. A downloadable pdf version (for offline use) is available here.  If you have a smartphone you can install the “Summer At Skidmore Info Guide” App.  The App contains the complete Summer Guide but also includes useful tools such as an Interactive map, campus parking, campus contacts, etc.  Here you can find a brochure that explains how to download and use the App: (add brochure and link).  The App can be downloaded through Google Play but is also available for any other platform that uses a browser as a fully web accessible version:

2. Registration will take place in Gannet Lobby and the conference will take place in Davis Auditorium, both of which are located on the second floor of Palamountain. Morning Coffee and Coffee Breaks will also take place in Davis Auditorium.  Lunch will be served in Palamountain 201, a few steps from Davis Auditorium.  I have attached a map of Skidmore where I highlighted the locations of the Gannet Lobby and the Davis Auditorium (which are both in the same floor).  When you enter the building through the Gannet Lobby, you’ll find the registration desk on your left.  If you then go to your right, you will pass the Gannet Auditorium, and then turn right into the Palamountain/Bolton hallway.  Go past Emerson Auditorium and you’ll find a hallway that turns to the right.  The Davis Auditorium is located at the intersection between the two hallways.

3. All overnight guests should register their car at Case Desk upon check in and they will be given a tag to hang from their rear view mirror.  No tag is required for commuters, but please check the Summer Info Guide as some parking lots might not be available due to construction or operations.

4. I am staying in one of the Sussman apartments and I will register as early as they open (8:30 am) on Monday so I can figure out any potential issues.  If you arrive on campus during the day (any time until 9 pm), I can meet you and help you to find your way to registration.  If it is not too late I can also show you the campus and the location of the Davis auditorium.  I'll have some snacks so people staying outside of campus can also stop by and "pre-register".  I sent you my phone number on an previous message and I will be reachable through e-mail.

5. The meal options at the Dining Hall are very decent, but I have also collected a list of suggestions for places to eat downtown from a couple of friends that leave downtown. Their suggestions can be find here. As you register, we will providing a Dining Guide from the Saratoga Chamber of Commerce.

6. The weather is supposed to be warm next week. Usually Davis has AC but we are having some problems with facilities and the AC might not be fixed in time. Fortunately, Davis does not get too hot, but just in case you should bring both warm and light clothes. I am sorry about this but the problem is affecting most buildings.

7. The Conference Barbecue will be outdoors, on the back of the Case Center.  We can move to an adjacent dining hall if we get bad weather.  Beware that mosquitos can be a big aggressive in the Adirondacks, so you might want to bring some repellent.

8. We strongly recommend that you bring your presentations loaded on an USB or have a link to the presentation online. We have both a PC and a Mac already set up for the projector and it saves a lot of time if we can just load the files through the USB (or access them online). Using personal laptops takes precious time to set up, and they are prone to lead to incompatibility problems.
