The IPS2004 programme will start at 9:35 as advertised. Please arrive
by 9:00 to complete registration and enjoy the coffee and cookies.

If you have not already registered for IPS2004, we recommend that you
download  and fill in the membership and registration 
forms before arrival, to speed up the registration process.
If you have already registered, your badge and conference package will be 
waiting for you at the registration desk.

Car, bus and train directions to the Technion are here.
You may also download a  car entry permit  and a 
campus map, or a blowup of the area near physics.

Maps of the IPS2004 layout will be in your conference package.

If you have not visited us since June, please  know that  it is best
to enter the physics building from the front entrance  to reach the new 
 Lidow complex foyer. This can be  entered from the 
road that turns off the main ring road between Materials Science and 
Biomedical Engineering, or, if you have entered Technion
on foot, via the Ullmann building. The back entrance near Chemistry that
was used during the building process is now closed.

Unfortunately for visitors many parking areas in the Technion are gated.
We hope that we can leave some gates open on 9/12/04.
If you come by car early, you may find parking on the road near the 
department or on the  ring road (right fork at the main west gate). 
If you arrive later your best bet for parking is in the area at the
side of the Physics Department near Ullmann.
This area is reached by taking the left fork at the main west gate onto 
Yaacov Dori road and the  left at the first circle to go past the swimming 
pool and then right at the next circle then follow the road past Civil 
Engineering and Mathematics.  Park, then enter into the the Taub Humanities 
Building where the Institute for Theoretical Physics is situated. You can 
take the elevator to its 4th floor, then cross the  bridge to the 3rd floor 
of Physics and follow the signs to the Lidow Foyer.

If you enter Technion through the Nesher gate, we also suggest that you use 
the parking area near Ullmann. Turn right at the first circle, left at the 
second and follow this road past Civil Engineering and Mathematics and 
proceed as in the  above paragraph.

Speakers  should be in touch with their session organiser or chair  in 
advance if they need anything other than an overhead transparency machine. 
Otherwise please contact them on arrival.
