Main Conference - October 7-8, 2003
The main conference days on October 7 and 8 will be hold at TUM's Engineering Campus in Garching (10 km north of Munich), which provides excellent facilities and modern infrastructure for a successful convention. There is a good subway (Metro) connection with (blue) line U6, direction "Garching" (go to the final station, then 5-10 min by shuttle bus to the campus). The whole trip takes about 30 min from central Munich. You will be provided with public transfer tickets as well as with a privately organized shuttle service. The campus is also conveniently located close to the Airport (MUC), in case you arrive / leave just in time, and close to the Highway ("Autobahn") A9 (Munich-Nuremberg). A detailed map of the venue will follow before the conference. (see http://www.mcpc2003.com/transport.htm for details).

The official dinner will be hold on October 7 in the Old City Hall of Munich, a spectacular medial building in the middle of the City. The highlight of the supporting program will be the congress dinner. Sponsorship of the dinner will be limited to only one organization, offering an exclusive marketing opportunity for your company.
