Travel Information

International participants will arrive at Seattle/Tacoma international airport, called  SeaTac. A 20 minute taxi ride (about $25) will take you to the conference hotel, or to other hotels in the city. Alternatively you can rent a car or take public transport.

Visa Information

We regret that obtaining visas has become more difficult. Visa applicants can improve their chances for a quick application turnaround by following these tips:

• Include in the application a complete itinerary, including contact names and telephone numbers for all locations to be visited.
• Provide a list of any and all publications written by the applicant. Such a list is useful in determining an applicant's speciality or research focus.
• Include a current resume. In a background check, an applicant's employment history is as important as their current position and duties.

It is advisable that you apply for a visa stamp as early as possible. Although there should be enough time if the application is made by the end of June, there is no way to ensure that all of the security clearances will go through in time before the conference.

All registrants will receive an official letter of invitation from Microsoft to attend the conference. This may help with the visa application. Requests for letters should be sent to: Michael Barnett (mbarnett@microsoft.com).
