This page contains detailed information on how to register for the 2001 ISIT; it also contains information on how you may reserve rooms at the conference hotel (The Omni Shoreham) and describes other housing options.

At the end of this web page is a table containing links to on-line ISIT registration and Omni-Shoreham reservation sites. If you do not wish to register or reserve your room(s) on-line, it also contains printable forms.

The cost of registering for the 2001 International Symposium on Information Theory is given in the table below.
 
 

Please note the following:

• This year we are offering a new option to non-members; for an extra $25 above the regular non-member registration fee, ISIT registrants will receive six months of membership in IEEE and the Information Theory Society.
• For those attendees who would like to take advantage of IEEE member rates, you can obtain an application for IEEE membership at http://www.ieee.org/membership/join/

The main conference facility is The Omni Shoreham Hotel. Reservation information for the Omni Shoreham may be found in the table at the bottom of this page.

ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATIONS

For safety and convenience, participants are strongly advised to consider hotels that are located either close to the conference hotel (i.e., a short walk or bus ride away from the Woodley Park metro station), or else very close to a Metro Red Line stop. If you are unfamiliar with Washington, please inquire with your travel agent or else consult the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Ride Guide on http://www.wmata.com/ to see whether a hotel satisfies the above criteria.
 

The following hotels offer significantly lower rates than the Omni Shoreham and are located close to Red Line stations:

• Connecticut Avenue Days Inn. 4400 Connecticut Avenue, Nw, Washington, DC. Red Line station: Van Ness-UDC (4 minutes to Woodley Park)
• Ramada Inn Rockville. 1775 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD. Red Line Station: Twinbrook (20 minutes to Woodley Park)
• Days Inn Silver Spring. 8040 13th Street, Silver Spring, MD Red Line Station: Silver Spring (25 minutes to Woodley Park)
• Ramada Limited Silver Spring. 7990 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring, MD. Red Line Station: See above

Dormitory-Style Accommodations


A small block of dormitory rooms has been reserved for ISIT participants on the George Washington University campus, located south of the conference site in Washington DC (estimated transfer time via Metrorail is 20-25 minutes).  All rooms are double-occupancy and must be booked for five nights, i.e., arriving on Sunday, June 24th and departing on Friday, June 29th.  The total charge for each room will be $320.00, which amounts to a daily rate of $64.00 (no tax will be charged).
 
Availability is limited and bookings will be on a first-come, first-served basis.  If you are interested in booking a room, please send email to Adrian Papamarcou at adrian@glue.umd.edu
