Social Activities
We are having a dinner for TES V workshop participants on
Tuesday
August 3 starting at approximately 8:00PM (or after the
exhibitor's
reception). This dinner will be partially covered by
the generous
contribution from our sponsor, Star
Cryoelectronics
. More details will follow.
As another way to maintain the intimacy of the TES workshop within the larger ASC conerference, we are suggesting an area and a restaurant and bar for people to meet in the (non-banquet - Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) evenings, where they will have a good opportunity to meet fellow attendees. There will be no organization or times for this; if this restaurant seems busy, there are a number of other alternatives in the vicinity.
