Welcome Recepon: The welcome recepon for TAUP 2017 will be hosted at Science North (transportaon will be provided from campus). New Eyes on the Universe, an exhibit showcasing the discoveries of the original SNO experiment will be on display in the lobby, and the enre science center will be open exclusively for TAUP. Drinks and desserts will be available throughout the science center. Try some SNOLAB beer and liquid nitrogen ice cream while you socialize!

Public Lecture: The 2017 TAUP public lecture is entled Cosmic Chirps: Gravitaonal waves and what they are telling us about the Universe. It takes place at Laurenan University’s Fraser Auditorium on Thursday, July 26. Doors open at 6:30pm and the lecture begins at 7:00. A recepon will follow. Dr. Peter S. Shawhan of the University of Maryland will share the latest results from LIGO and discuss the expansion of the gravitaonal-wave detector network, including underground neutrino detectors.

Gala Dinner: The gala dinner to celebrate TAUP 2017 will be held on Thursday, 27 July. The event will take place at Sudbury’s Società Caruso. Cocktail hour begins at 6:30 pm, followed by dinner at 7:30 pm. Entertainment will be provided by a local jazz trio. Transportaon to and from the venue will be provided.

CONFERENCE ROOM AV EQUIPMENT

Rooms are equipped with internet access and a Windows computer. Technical assistance will be provided by student volunteers.

Presenters are asked to put their talks into PDF format and upload them via the conference program website at least 12 hours prior to the start of the session (instrucons below). They could also bring a PDF backup on a USB key to be downloaded onto the computer 15 minutes prior to the start of the session. Presenters are strongly encouraged not to use their own computers. Those who do use their own computers risk having their talk shortened if technical difficules arise, as we need to adhere to the published schedule. Note that if an adaptor is requied, presenters need to bring their own.
