There are 7 floors in the Learning Crossroads. Floors plans are located here. Each floor has several classrooms and 3 elevators are available.
The first floor (L1) will be where we have our coffee breaks, poster session, refreshments, and our registration desk. All the blue space on L1 will be open and uOttawa students will not be present. Our plenary talks will be held in room C140.
During the conference, our volunteers will be available to provide technical support to anyone who needs it. Additionally, we can arrange extra equipment for specific sessions upon request.
