8th TAGPMA Face-to-Face Meeting

This TAGPMA meeting will be held on November 6-8 at Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) in La Plata City, Argentina:

When you fly to Argentina the international airport of Buenos Aires is called Aeropuesto Pistarini in Ezeiza.
From the airport you can take the bus Manuel Tienda Leon to the city of La Plata (about 55 kilometers through a highway)

Suggestions!!!
-When you do the hotel reservations, please send the mail with copy to lmolinari@cespi.unlp.edu.ar and arios@mail.linti.unlp.edu.ar (we´ll control the response in time and to guarantee the reservations). You can ask Lia for to do the reservations, too.
-If you ask us for the transfer between the airport and La Plata, you can pay the driver with US or Pesos.

The nearest international airport is located in Buenos Aires.

*Transportation and directions:*
To get from the Airport to La Plata, we recommend you e-mail Lía Molinari (lmolinari@cespi.unlp.edu.ar) or Aldana Gómez Ríos (arios@mail.linti.unlp.edu.ar), informing your scheduled flight and estimated time of arrival to the airport, and we will send a remise to pick you up (the driver will hold a banner with your name). The cost of the trip is 45 USD and you should pay directly to the driver. We consider this the safest and most comfortable way to travel to La Plata.
