This is actually not entirely helpful, since I have never been to the
Pontifical Institute in my life and would have to consult a map to
determine where it is! :-)  The "ten minutes" you mentioned in your
other posting is actually what I wanted to know.

It might be worth pointing out in return that when potential Usenix
attendees are likely to get their Usenix mailings well before other
relevant mailings, reproducing one or two key items of information from
said other mailings would be useful.  My impression is that the trade
show is by far the biggest attraction UniForum holds for Usenix-type
folks, hence its hours (not just its dates) are important.

Neither of these omissions is a major problem, but it would be worth
remembering them for the future.
