The conference will be held at: UniMail, Hotel locations relative to the Conference venue can
be viewed on map.jpg or map.kmz (if
you have Google
earth installed). Public transportation You do not need to buy a ticket for the transportation. You can take the trams, buses and the train (from the airport to the main train station) for free, once the hotel reservation presented. If
you arrive at the Cointrin airport, you can take the train, which
connects the airport to the main train station, Cornavin (5minutes).
The airport is at about 6 km (4 miles) from the Cornavin train station
where the hotels are located. The
taxi fare from the airport to the downtown area will cost you
approximately CHF 40.00 depending on traffic density. Taxis may be
ordered by phone (+4122 3202202/ 022 3314133) or found at authorized
taxi stands. However, the public transportation network is well
organized and should be your preferred means of transportation. Parking
facilities exist in the basement of the Uni-Mail building, but they are
rather expensive. You
will find foreign exchange counters at the airport, the train station
and most hotels. In addition any bank branch has an exchange
department. Banks are open Monday to Friday 08:30 to 16:30. At other
times, money can be changed at the train station (Cornavin). All prices
indicated here are approximate prices in Swiss Francs. Presently, USD
1.00 is about CHF 1.20 and Euro 1.00 about CHF 1.60. The
