Travel
Ottawa is the Capital city of Canada. And as such it is a *very* popular tourist destination during the summer months. We strongly suggest that you don't leave booking your flight or hotel until the last minute. We'll see you in June!
When Should I Arrive/Leave
We would suggest that you arrive on Tuesday, June 26th and stay until Monday, July 2nd. You will be able to attend the conference, all of our official social events, and the massive Canada Day celebration on Sunday, July 1st.
Getting Into Canada
