The conference will take place from May 13 to 16, 2007 at Ivey Business School, the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. Here is the  campus map with detailed information on locations and here is the driving directions to campus.

Conference Parking:   We have arranged for free parking at the Medway Lot (behind Elgin Hall on the East side of the Thames river. Here is the map of campus parking

Conference Hotels:

We regret that the two conference hotels, Station Park and the Delta Armouries, are both full, as are the rooms we booked at the University residence.  We  have two suggestions for those late booking conference delegates:

Days Inn (click here or call toll free at: 1-866-266-8266) has promised CORS delegates a conference rate of $79 (including hot breakfast). We do note that while reasonably priced and a nice hotel, the Days Inn is rather far from the University and will involve a fairly expensive daily cab fare to campus.   As this is a last minute (May 10) addition to our list of hotel suggestions we have not been able to organize a shuttle bus. 

Windermere Manor  www.uwo.ca/manor/ has a few rooms available at $116 per night (mention you are attending CORS, which is a UWO sponsored conference).  This is in the UWO research park, a 15-20 minute walk from the conference venue.

Transportation:

London Ontario is easily accessible by car, train or plane.

• London International Airport is an easy 15 drive from the University of Western Ontario.
• Train schedules, are available at http://www.viarail.ca.
