The conference site is situated within a 65,000 acre forested wildlife sanctuary and 70 lakes, on the shore of the Ottawa River. The hotel is located between Ottawa and Montreal, about 80 minutes by car from both international airports. The conference will be held in the hotel’s newly renovated congress centre, with plenty of adjacent space for participants and vendors to discuss. Following past successful conferences, this biennial meeting will focus on the generation, amplification, compression, and measurement of ultra-high-intensity lasers as well as their applications.
