Lodging is at The Village in Breckenridge

  The Village at Breckenridge
  535 South Park Avenue 
  Breckenridge CO 80424   

  Condo lodging is in the building called "Peak 9 Inn."
  All condos have:
     fully equiped kitchens with an eating counter,
     a living room, a wall mounted HD television,
     inroom internet,
     free local and 800- telephone calls, and
     free indoor parking for one car per unit.

   STUDIO ($135) has a queen bed in the LR and a couch that optionally opens
into a double bed.  Sleeps 4.

   ONE-BEDROOM CONDO ($155) has a queen or king bed in the MBR, plus a
living room and kitchen similar to the studio.  Sleeps 4.

   TWO-BEDROOM ($250) and THREE-BEDROOM ($350) CONDOS are similar to the
one-bedroom condo, the extra bedroom(s) have various different bed
configurations but each BR sleeps at least 2.  The hotel cannot absolutely
guarantee the configuration but will attempt to meet requests.  To  get the
maximum choice, make your reservation ASAP.

    I believe most BEDROOM CONDOs have a working fireplace.

   For those who prefer conventional hotel rooms, an adjacent
building has CLASSIC VILLAGE HOTEL ROOMS ($132).  These rooms have
two queen beds, a mini refrigerator and a coffee maker.  The bed
arrangement is guaranteed.

   There is a $10 "Resort Fee" (reduced from $20) added to the daily
price of all units.  It is a requirement to state both this fee and
the state tax of 11.68% separately from the room rate.

2) Presentations

The Conference begins with a reception on Sunday evening, January 29,
at 5:00p, followed by a partial session.
Full sessions meet from Monday through Friday at 4:00p to
8:00p with six talks per session; the rest of the day is free.

Talks are 22 minutes in length (plus discussion during and after the talk)
and are to be given at a Scientific American level of detail.  The diverse
audience needs a good indtroduction and general background for your 
specific research topic.

After the last session on Friday, there is a banquet included in the
