My experience has been that the papers have been made available the Monday the conference starts via the conference app (which I strongly recommend downloading by the way - it's a great tool for organizing the sessions you are interested in as well as social media aspects).   They are made available online after SASGF has concluded.   I usually use the app to review the paper either right before or after the presentation, then if it's something I might want to refer to later there's an option in the app to forward it via email. Had about 12-15 presentations in my inbox at work when I returned. Extremely useful tool. I tend to relax my mind on the flight there. as once I arrive it's SAS overload (in the best kind of way). ... View more

For those interested in baseball, the Colorado Rockies are home before and during the conference. Coors Field is downtown (walkable). Sunday's game is at 1:00. Hoping to making it (as long as flight is on time and weather is somewhat decent. It's been a number of years since I have been there. But it's a pretty nice park from what I can remember.     ...

I recommend Rose and Crown Dining Room in the UK. Food is some of the best I have had in all of WDW. Excellent Fish & Chips. I also love (like others) Soarin' and Test Track.   "Space" is pretty intense because of the G-Force, If your'e not sure you will like all the "pressure" with that comes with the G-Forces, the less intense version is really still worth the wait.   I also love the figment attraction in a corny kind of way. Be aware though, the theme song may be ringing in your ears that night (which really isn't a bad thing) ... View more

Hi Andrew,   Kennedy Space Center is definitely worth the trip. There are plenty of bus tours or you can rent a car for about $50/day.   I've also heard the tours at Daytona International Speedway are quite good if you are into that kind of thing. They have a tram that takes you around the track.   The La Nouba Cirque Du Soleil show in Downtown Disney is also very good. ... View more

Same goes for me.   I love anything to do with NASA. Hoping to take a trip over to Kennedy Space Center after the conference to explore a bit. I haven't been there in a number of years.   Really looking forward to listening to Mr. Hadfield speak at SASGF! ... View more
