When making reservations with the hotel, please make sure you ask for the block of rooms under "SEDRIS". It is important to do this to insure that you receive the discounted meeting rate. The rate is $75/night plus state and occupancy tax, $8.25.

Two maps of the area may be downloaded. The first  map depicts the Central Florida region to include the University of Central Florida (UCF) and the Central Florida Research Park, which are east of downtown Orlando. The second map  shows more detail of the area around UCF and the Research Park. You will note the Radisson University Hotel near the intersection of Alafaya Trail and State Road 50 (Colonial Drive) at the bottom portion of the map. The best route from the airport area is to head east on State Road 528 (Bee Line Expressway) then head north at Exit 16 on State Road 417 (Greenway) to Exit 33A. From there head east on State Road 408 (East-West Expressway) and exit at Alafaya Trail. Take a left turn onto Alafaya Trail and head north through the intersection of State Road 50 (Colonial Drive). It is best to be in the left-most straight-through lane so that you will be ready to make an immediate left turn into the Radisson just after you pass through the intersection.

If you intend to participate in the WG 8 Meeting, please send e-mail to the WG8 Convenor, Jack Cogman  with a copy to the WG 8 acting Secretariat, Tim Gifford. If you plan to make a presentation or provide a written contribution, please indicate that also.
