Participants

Here is the List of participants.

Lodging

A limited block of rooms are held for this workshop at Hotel Vance located at 1455 SW Broadway, a five minute walk from the workshop venue. The negotiated rate of 169 USD per night can be obtained through this link, on a first-come first-serve basis, for reservations during the period covering July 8 through July 11, 2023:

Book through this link to get the reduced rate

 
An alternate option is Hotel Zags, located nearby at 515 SW Clay Street. You can obtain their discounted rate by putting PSU into the box for “Corporate/Promo” code while booking at their website.
 

The conference venue is located at the southern end of downtown Portland where there are many more lodging options, all accessible by a quick internet search.

Travel

The conference venue is located in downtown Portland, about a 25 minute drive from the Portland International Airport (airport code PDX). From the airport, a light rail transit line, called the MAX Red line, will get you to downtown for USD 2.50.  During the workshop dates, there is likely to be track construction that prevents the MAX Red line train from reaching the airport, in which case there will a shuttle bus to the next available train stop from the airport. Taxis from airport to downtown costs between  USD 40-50. Uber and Lyft also provide pick ups from the airport. Real time public transit information on light rail lines, a separate streetcar system, and various bus lines is available at Trimet. This information is also tracked by apps like Google Maps in real time.

Regional participants can also travel by long-distance trains directly into the downtown Portland Amtrak Union Station (located at 800 NW Sixth Ave) or by long-distance bus companies, like BoltBus, FlixBus, and Greyhound.

Featured

NGSolve at the Hannover Messe 2019

Netgen/NGSolve has been presented at the Hanover Fair 2019 by Joachim Schöberl, Matthias Hochsteger and Christopher Lackner, at the stand of the TU Wien. The fair has been an interesting opportunity to get in touch with industry and other research facilities, introducing the software to a wider audience and exchanging ideas with existing and prospective users. Joachim had a talk to introduce NGSolve at the Lightweight Plaza & Speakers Corner on Monday. Christopher was interviewed by Science|Square at the Research and Innovation Hall. The fair newspaper has printed an article about NGSolve as well. We thank the TU Wien and the WKO for the opportunity to present NGSolve and for all the guests that visited us for the interesting discussions. Below are some of our impressions of the fair.
