Venue
Travel and Lodging
Costs supported through ePANDDA funding from NSF. The hackathon will be two full days in length, both 18 and 19 September. Travel should be planned for Sunday (17th) and Wednesday (20th).
Participants are responsible for booking your own airfare/ground transport (to be reimbursed after the workshop). When booking airline travel, be sure that:
- you arrive and depart from the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).
- your flight arrival and departure times allow you to participate ALL DAY on Monday September 18th and until 5pm ET on Tuesday September 19th.
- you book only economy class, as economy is the only class that can be reimbursed.
- you pay with a credit card, as frequent flyer miles can not be reimbursed.
- all receipts show proof of payment (i.e. last four digits of credit card shown on receipt).
Participants can make reservations (hotel or Airbnb) on your own, and submit for reimbursement following the hackathon, or, we have reserved a block of rooms at nearby hotels, which will be paid directly by ePANDDA. If you want one of these rooms, please fill out the form here by August 31.
Wireless Connectivity
A sponsored guest user id and password will be assigned for the duration of the hackathon and shared by all participants, which will extend the function of the guest network. These credentials are shared, and cannot be published on the web. They will be emailed just prior to the event, and distributed on-site.
Collection Tours
Check back soon for sign-ups. Tours will be approximately 10 minutes long.
- Botany collections with Jordan K. Teisher, Ph.D. Collections Manager, and Rick McCourt, Ph.D. Curator.
