Welcome to the Local Excursions Program for ICSE.
- Excursions include trips for shopping, museums, dancing, walking, and a
pedal-cart tour.
- Register for excursions (and pay for those requiring advance
payments) at the conference registration desk.
- Each trip has a minimum size
and maximum capacity; trips not meeting the minimum size will be cancelled and
money refunded.
- All trips will depart from in front of the registration desk.
- Many trips will use public transportation—our Metro area light-rail and/or
bus.
- Each trip will be escorted to its destination by a member of the
conference volunteer staff; for most trips, a return escort will be provided as
well.
We have scheduled the following events (please consult the schedule in front of the registration desk for last minute changes):
