Context and Episodic Memory Symposium 2009

January 2 - January 3, 2009, Palm Beach, Florida

Here you will find information relating to the upcoming Context and Episodic Memory Symposium (CEMS), being held on the days of January 2nd and 3rd, 2009, in Palm Beach, Florida. The symposium is designed to be a forum for the exchange of ideas among colleagues working on theoretical and empirical approaches to the study of context and episodic memory, broadly construed.

Travel and Hotel

The symposium is being held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Palm Beach. As an attendee at the meeting, you can reserve a room at the hotel at a discount rate. In order to so, you can click here and enter "UNPUNPA" as the Group Code. The nights for which the reduced rate apply are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of January. The discount rate for rooms is $319 per night. (Palm Beach is very expensive at that time of year, and the regular rates are over $600 per night). If you want to make reservations by phone, make sure to mention the name of the conference in order to receive the discount room rate. When traveling to the area, the most convenient airports are either Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). There are still some decent fares (around $500 roundtrip for direct flights, as of early November). Note: in order to receive the discount rate, you must reserve your room by December 2nd.

Registration

The registration fee for the symposium is $280, which will include breakfast, refreshments, and lunches. You can find the registration website here.
