Workshop Logistics

Accommodations

To make a reservation for this meeting, please call the Concourse Hotel at (800) 356-8293 and ask for the 4th NOAA Workshop on Hyperspectral Data before 29 July 2004 to get the gov't rate of $62 for single or $82 for double. Check http://www.concoursehotel.com for information (but cannot make a reservation there). They provide a free airport shuttle as well as free shuttle to and from the Pyle Center.

Location

The meeting will be held at the Pyle Center http://www.conferencing.uwex.edu/pyle.cfm?pyle=4 in Madison, which is near the campus Union. The Pyle Center is located at 702 Langdon Street. The meeting will be in room 235.

Transportation and Parking

Rental cars are available at the airport.  However, unless you plan to travel outside of the university and downtown area, you probably won't need a car.  There are a multitude of restaurants within a mile of the hotel.  If you can't get the hotel shuttle, you can take a taxi.  If there are no taxis (not usually the case), you can call Badger Cabs at 256-5566.  They'll send one over generally within 10 minutes. 

Registration

There will be a fee (of $100) to cover food-related expenses (including 2 lunches and a dinner). Register here.
