Registration

As is the custom at MIGHTY conference, registration is free. However, we ask that you register by email by October 24. In the email, please give your name, department & university, and whether you expect to attend Friday's reception (free) and lunch ($10) at "Furama" Saturday.

Giving a talk

Talks will be 15 minutes long, plus a few minutes for questions. We welcome submissions on any topic in graph theory. Reviving an old MIGHTY tradition, we encourage talks on work-in-progress, as well as presentations of finished work.

If you are thinking about speaking, please email us as soon as possible to indicate your interest. Titles & abstracts are due October 24.

Equipment
There will be a laptop and digital projector, as well as an overhead projector, and a whiteboard.

Housing

IIT has deals with a few hotels downtown:
Club Quarters (two downtown locations, $129/night, you must mention "Illinois Institute of Technology")
[More hotels]

On campus, there are several guest rooms available: Guest Suites

You might try using an online hotel finder. Using Kayak.com, we found two reasonable, inexpensive hotels:
- Chinatown Hotel SRO Ltd. $86/night (1 stop from IIT on Red Line, 2 stops from downtown)
- Travelodge Hotel Downtown Chicago $99/night: (south part of downtown, 2 blocks from Red Line, 2 stops from IIT)
(There are many cheaper ones, too, but not so well-located.)

Sharing a room
If you are interested in sharing a room with another participant, email us and we will help you make connections with others like you.

If you don't mind sharing a room with strangers, there's a very inexpensive, nice-looking hostel downtown. (No age restriction)
