Meals will not be arranged by the conference organizers. The following chart is a rough draft of the talk schedule.
A precise time schedule will be available here, eventually. All times shown are: Eastern Standard Time = UTC - 5:00.
The standard time allotment for talks is 30 minutes = 25 for talk + 5 for Q&A.
Conference Talks
For registered conference participants there is a discounted room rate ($225) but local and state taxes (13%) will be added to that rate. Alternatively, you may simply go to this link and select or modify the booking data to suit your needs. NB The cutoff date for room reservations at the conference rate is 18 November.
To make your reservation directly with the hotel, you may call 1-800-LAGOMAR. Remember to say you are a Miami 2022 conference participant.
(Select arrival and departure dates during 12-22 December, and then enter the Group Code as 2212UNIVER to get the conference room rate.)
While many people are still hesitant to travel, if you are willing and able to fly, both Miami International Airport (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) serve the greater Miami area. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend using FLL to attend Miami 2022 in person because it is much closer to the conference hotel. A taxi from FLL to the Lago Mar resort should cost less than $20.
If you must fly into MIA, here is some taxi and limo information. Alternatively, if you have plenty of time and patience, you may take Tri-Rail from MIA to Fort Lauderdale (for < $5 per person) and then a taxi to the hotel (for about $20). This alternative is less expensive but usually more time-consuming (depending on traffic conditions!) than taking a taxi from MIA all the way to the hotel. Of course, should you do this, remember to take into consideration the train schedule.
The phone number and address of the hotel, the Lago Mar Resort, are given here. No matter how you travel to the hotel, it might be helpful if you carry along a copy of this information.
Note that parking at the hotel is complimentary, should you wish to rent a car for various purposes.
If you do not have transportation, the conference hotel restaurants are probably your best choice.
But if you have transportation available, you might want to check out some of the eating establishments within a short drive. Here is a map of some local restaurants not too far from the hotel. (Pan and/or zoom to find particular restaurants.)
A little farther away, Las Olas Blvd has several restaurants from which to choose. And then there is always the very rustic, Rustic Inn Crabhouse (not to be confused with Joe's Stone Crab, of course ... that's a long drive).
Good swill hunting!
