US Visas

Participants who need US visa to attend the workshop are advised to read the following information about nonimmigrant visas at the web site of US Embassy in Moscow and particularly the following:

Anyone applying for a visa to attend a scientific or technical conference, conduct research, participate in meetings, undertake post-graduate studies, or engage in employment in a scientific or technical field should submit the current resume or CV indicating your educational background, work history, your current job responsibilities, field of expertise and research interest, and the list of publications. These documents must be provided in English.

Additional administrative processing is often required by U.S. Embassy Moscow’s Consular Section for individuals involved in scientific or technical fields of work or study. We recommend that all applicants, particularly those involved in scientific or technical fields, apply for a visa as soon as they are aware of their travel plans to the U.S. We urge all applicants to apply no later than 30 days before the intended date of travel. Unfortunately, in most cases the possibility that your visa may be subject to additional processing will not be considered an emergency for the purpose of granting expedited appointments.

Transportation

Arrival in Phoenix

Some people may be confused by the fact that the name Phoenix is used for the City of Phoenix (capital of Arizona) as well as the entire Metropolitan Area, which also includes Tempe and a number of other cities. The demarcation of municipal borders in not apparent, and, while driving through the Phoenix MSA, you will not see a border checkpoints or welcome signs. Another important detail, which makes arrival to our meeting easy and comfortable, is that Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is located only about five miles from Downtown Tempe and the Tempe Campus of Arizona State University. Most hotels provide complimentary shuttle service, but if you do not want to wait for a shuttle, it is only a 10 minutes ride for about 15 dollars with the taxi.

Direction to the venues

The workshop sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be held in the Turquoise room at the Memorial Union at ASU Tempe campus. The morning session on Thursday will be held at Engineering Research Center (ERC), room 533. The evening reception on Monday, November 5, will be held at the Monti's restaurant in the Tempe downtown. Reception at a private residence in Paradise Valley will be held on Tuesday night, November 6. Networking night social meeting will be held on September 7, Wednesday from 7 to 11 pm at the W Scottsdale Hotel.
Further workshop events will be added to the program and posted at this web page as soon as they emerge.
