Transportation |

LADIS will be hosted at the IBM TJ
Watson Research Lab in Yorktown, New York. LADIS will
provide daily buses between the hotel and the meeting
location (15 minutes). You can also drive; the
directions are
here. If you take a taxi, the address is 1101
Kitchewan Road, Yorktown, NY 10598. Stress to the
driver that the location is Yorktown, NOT Yorktown
Heights, a nearby town with a similar name. |
|
|
|
We will depart for our social excursion directly from
the meeting site at Yorktown on Tuesday at 5pm, by bus.
You must not miss this bus, because we have no backup
plan for stragglers. |
