Transportation
Buses arrive at the roundabout near the south gate house at 8:45am on Wednesday, 9/18.
Buses depart promptly at 9am - don't be late! We will not be able to wait for anyone.

If you are driving, please arrive at Sleeping Lady by 11:30am

 

 

Poster Session
On the second evening, we will host a poster session and social. Grad students, postdocs, and staff are invited to create a poster. A panel of judges will determine the best grad student and postdoc poster, with a travel award of $1250 awarded to each winner. Winners are announced at the close of the retreat on the 20th. Winners must be present to accept the award (Friday, 9/20 at 12pm) or the award will go to the runner-up.

Please submit your posters to posters [ a t ] gs.washington.edu as soon as possible and no later than 09/9/2019 to ensure the IT team has enough time to print.  Files should be in the PDF, PPT(x) or AI format. Powerpoint (PPTX or PPT) occasionally fails to print embedded spreadsheets or quicktime elements, and can substitute fonts when the original document was created on a Mac. We have 36 inch and 42 inch paper rolls -  to avoid manual trimming, please have one dimension of the poster match either paper size.

Additional Information
Check-in will be after 3pm. Luggage will be stored at Sleeping Lady until we're able to check-in.
