Please fill out the registration form and fax it to 614-292-8261.  A registration fee  will be collected at the start of the workshop.  This fee is payable by check, money order, or cash.  The amount of the fee is being determined.  We expect it to be between $20 and $30.  It will cover the cost of coffee, soft-drinks, pastries, and a lunch on Aug 12.

There are cheap flights between Midway and Columbus on America West Airlines and Southwest Airlines.  Advanced fares can be as low as $89 round trip.  Both these airlines have jet service into Columbus.  United Airlines flies to Columbus from O'Hare, the fares are usually not as cheap.  American Airlines uses their commuter company American Eagle to fly into Columbus from O'Hare, they do NOT have jet service.  From the airport, there is an Holiday Inn Shuttle bus (see below) and Taxis (~$16-18).  In addition, all the major rental car companies have sites at the Columbus airport.

The drive from FNAL is about 8 hours, probably a little long for a 1 1/2 day workshop. The drive from Ann Arbor is about 2.5-3 hours.
 

A block of rooms has been reserved at the Holiday Inn on the Lane.  This hotel is about a 5 min walk from the Smith Laboratory (Physics Building).   The rate is $69 per night.  Reservations need to be made by July 11th to lock in this rate.  The phone number is 614-294-4848. When making the reservation tell them you are with the CDF Trigger Workshop.

Another hotel is the Red Roof Inn located about 25 min walk  (5 min by car) from Smith Laboratory.  No rooms have been reserved at this hotel, but there will likely be vacancies. The phone number is 614-267-9941.
 

How to get to the Holiday Inn from the Columbus Airport
 
1.  From the airport go to I-670 West.
2.  Follow I-670 to Ohio Rt 315, go North (only real option).
3. Get off 315 at Lane Ave, take right on Lane.
4. The Holiday Inn is about 3/4 of a mile from 315. It will be on leftside of the road.
5. It is probably best to park at the Holiday Inn garage and walk to Smith Lab.
