The [http://www.com.washington.edu University of Washington Department of Communication] is hosting the event. We are located in the '''Communications building (CMU)''' on the Seattle UW campus. The Friday setup and the morning lectures will both be held in '''CMU 104'''. We will move into other rooms in the building for the workshop parts of the sessions.

Thanks to generous sponsorship by the [http://escience.washington.edu/ eScience Institute at UW], we will provide catered lunchs during the Saturday sessions. Although we haven't figured out the menu, we will make sure to have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. If the food we have doesn't doesn't work for you, there is a food court open for lunch in [http://depts.washington.edu/thehub/ the HUB] (the UW student center) that is almost directly next door.
