Dear participants,

We thank all of you for having registered to QFS2004 and we look 
forward to welcoming you to Trento. 

These are things that you need to know. 

QFS2004 CHECK-IN
----------------
QFS2004 check-in will start at the welcome reception on Sunday, 4 
July, at 19:00. It will continue at the conference desk, starting
from Monday, 5 July, at 08:00.  

WELCOME RECEPTION AT CONFERENCE SITE
------------------------------------
On Sunday, 4 July, from 19:00 to 21:00, all participants are kindly 
invited to a welcome reception. Drinks and light hors d'oeuvres 
will be served. No additional fee is required. 
The welcome reception will take place at the conference site, at 
the Centro Santa Chiara, Via Santa Croce 67, in downtown Trento. It 
was initially planned to be at the Buonconsiglio Castle, but the final 
number of participants is much larger than expected and there is not 
enough space for everybody at the Castle (most of the rooms are 
occupied by an exhibition). We are sorry for that, but we are also 
happy that you are so many. The location of the conference site is 
given at http://bec.science.unitn.it/qfs2004/sitelocation.html
Information about how to get to the conference site can be found at
http://bec.science.unitn.it/qfs2004/sitelocation.html

Instructions for presenters (talks and posters) are also given on 
the same web page. 

EXCURSIONS (please, reserve in advance!)
----------------------------------------
The afternoon of Wednesday, July 7, is unscheduled so that all 
participants may see some of the local sites and enjoy Trento and 
its region. Two organized excursions are suggested. They are described 
in detail at http://bec.science.unitn.it/qfs2004/excursions.html .
If you wish to join one of them, please complete the reservation form 
and send it by e-mail before June 30th, following the instructions given 
on the web page. The cost of the excursion must be paid in cash at 
the conference desk.  In addition, we will prepare a list of further 
interesting sites that can be easily visited. This list will be 
provided at the conference desk. 

ACCOMPANYING PERSONS
--------------------
Excursions, walking tours and sight seeing tours will be arranged and/or

in these activities, please attend the accompanying persons meeting at
the conference desk on Monday, 5 July, at 10 am.
