Welcome to SIGCOMM 2011
Dear SIGCOMM 2011 attendees,
We welcome you to ACM SIGCOMM 2011 in Toronto!
As in previous years, Sigcomm is organized as a week-long festival of networking research events.
Below we provide a summary of the events during the week and share useful information.
Registration Desk
The registration desk will be open on:
-
Sunday (Aug 14): 5:00pm - 8:00pm
- Monday - Friday (Aug 15 - 19): 8:00am - 5:00pm
The registration desk is located in the Coat Check Area outside the Frontenac (From the hotel, take the catwalk to the Convention Centre on the 2nd floor, and walk down the stairs to the street level. You will see signs to the registration desk).
- Your badge will indicate the events for which you have registered, and hotel personnel will check your badge at food events. There will not be additional meal coupons.
- If you purchased an additional banquet ticket for a guest, you will receive a special badge for the guest.
For registration receipts, please log on to Regonline. There is an option to download a receipt.
On-site registrations
On-site registration is done online, following the link here. If you need a computer, go to the computer room (in Yonge). After completing the online registration, proceed to the registration desk, where volunteers will prepare a conference badge and bag.
Volunteers
We have several student volunteers who are helping out with the conference. You can identify them by the bright red T-shirts with the SIGCOMM 2011 logo. Please feel free to contact any volunteer or member of the organizing team for help.
