Travel and Accommodation

The workshop hotel is the Tulip Inn. Cost is around US$50 per night. We have arranged a discount so, when booking, tell the hotel that you are from the CICLING/Lexicom group. We have given the hotel a list of names and likely dates so they will know that you are eligible for the discount.

The location for the workshop is the IPN Center for Computer Research (CIC). We shall be going there as a group from the hotel. For details of the venue, how to get there on your own, and other local information, see here.

On the Sunday following the worshop you may wish to join the CICLING conference group on a tour to see the famous pyramids at Teotihuacan. (The tutors will be going.) For more about this and other possibilities, see the main conference site at http://www.cicling.org/2009
