Apart from the social program of the conference, this is
an excellent opportunity to see Chicago, the 3rd largest city in the US. On the General Information page you will find further information regarding links to places of
interest in the community surrounding Fermilab as well
as in Chicago itself. This Chicago Excursions link also provides itineraries for half-day or all day site-seeing trips to Chicago along with lots of other useful information if you are planning a trip to downtown Chicago.

We will of course also prepare a few possible itenaries
for 1/2 day and all day tours in the city highlighting some of the more unique attractions.The conference secretariat will provide assistance with bookings and getting information.
