Extra excursions

Message read on FB:

Dear conference organizers,

I would like to go to Coba.
Will there be a half day tour to Coba on Friday 8th afternoon  ?
or which half day tours will be available on Friday afternoon please ?

Thanks

Best regards,

Griet 

The answer is:

We will not organize excursions apart from the Wednesday one to Tulum. But you will find a travel agency in the hotel and you can register for any tour they organize. You can see with Mario Avila from the travel agency how you can organize yourself to have a tour with other APN participants, I guess he can manage this well. The same apply for the pre-conference Sunday and the post-conference Saturday.

Talks and questions

Sofia Ramstedt asked: "Is the plan for the 15-minute talks to talk for the full time and leave questions for the discussion session like at APNV, or should we leave room for questions also within the 15 minutes?"

The plan is to have 12+3 talks, as some questions are only related to your talk and not very suitable for a more general discussion. But of course the discussion slots related to each session will mainly be based on the corresponding talks.
And if you use the whole 15 mins talking, we will not allow extra time for question, as we have the discussions :-)

Comment on personal laptops

We will have a laptop with Office, LibreOffice and Acrobat PDF viewer installed. You can then bring your talk in a memory stick.
You can also bring you laptop if you want to show us movies or things that cannot be easily installed. Be sure to have the VGA connector.

Comment on poster size

The panel on which you will put your poster is 1m width by 2m high. You can have a poster of any size fitting in this place, you are not obliged to design a poster of this size exactly. Anything smaller will also work :-)
