Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium III
Reed College is located in a southeast Portland neighborhood, five miles from the downtown area and 12 miles from Portland International Airport.
If you are flying from another continent, you might want to know that Seattle is a 3-hour drive from Portland (approximately a $90 plane fare), and San Francisco is a 12-hour drive (approximately a $130 plane fare).
There is a shuttle ($9) from the airport to the conference hotel (see below). There may also be a few free vans arranged by the conference that will go from the airport to campus; if you are interested in that, please send your arrival time to the conference organizers. Also, the Blue Star Airporter (503-249-1837) will take you from the airport to campus for $16.50; it leaves the airport every half hour. Cabs cost about $25.
If you are driving, a rudimentary Portland road map might be useful. There are also some brief directions on driving to Reed from various directions.
A campus map may be useful, though it does not include any of the new buildings, e.g., the new dorms.
The conference hotel is the downtown Days Inn, located at 1414 S.W. Sixth. Their phone number is (503)221-1611, their fax number is (503)226-0447, and their email address is daysinn@transport.com. Mention the ANTS conference (or Reed College) when you register. They are happy to take registrations by email. The number of rooms available to ANTS may be somewhat limited. The rooms are $79 per night for one (queen) bed in the room, or $94 for a room with two beds. Raz Transportation (the Big Blue Bus) picks people up at the shuttle area at the airport and drops them off at several downtown hotels, including the Days Inn; it costs $9.
The on-campus dorms are new, and quite pleasant. The cost is $45 per night, including food. For a one-time cost of $10 you can get get a phone connected in your room (local calls only, though you can access long distance via a credit card). For a one-time cost of $10 you can get a direct internet connection in your room. (Though this isn't particularly necessary, unless you like to read email or compute in absolute privacy, since a campus computing center will be open all hours; the center contains Power Macs that have internet access via telnet and also run Linux.)
