How to get there
Conference Shuttle: will leave from the IST Congress Center by 7:00 pm. Meet at 18:45 at the Hall if you want to join the shuttle. It returns after the dinner by 10 pm.
Metro: There are two subway stations within walking distance of the IST Congress Center. Saldanha is the closest to the IST Congress Center and most nearby hotels, such as Holiday Inn.
Alameda (green line): take direction Baixa-Chiado, stop at Rossio (walk 500 m).
Saldanha (yellow line): take direction Rato, change at Marquês do Pombal to blue line direction Santa Apolônia, stop at Terreiro do Paço (walk 250 m).
Car/Uber/taxi/etc.: avoid if possible as the traffic is heavy and parking is inconvenient. It can be convenient to return if your hotel is not near the IST Congress Center.
Conference Lunch Buffet
Yes, there is lunch, and it is real food. So we have plenty of time to get ready for the afternoon sessions.
When: Monday to Wednesday, from 12:30 pm to 2 pm.
Where: at the Hall
Coffee breaks
Enjoy the coffee breaks at the Hall all three days, mid-morning and mid-afternoon. It is a great time for networking or simply resting while processing all the information.
Interactive Demos will be available during these breaks at the Hall or a side room. Video demos will be displayed during these breaks. Poster stands will be available for all authors who wish to display and discuss their works in more detail with the audience.
