As the meeting is approaching we would like to keep you up to date with the last arrangements. 

Contributed talks will de 15 minutes long with additional 5 minutes for questions and speaker exchange. Of course the program is still subject to modifications. 

We expect to have some cultural activities in the evenings that will be advised as soon as we can confirm them. 

We got a bus to make the transfer from Belo Horizonte to Ouro Preto on Monday afternoon (about 3:30 PM) and the return on Friday afternoon (about 2:00 PM). However, we have more registered participants than places in the bus, in such a way that we’ll have to allocate people in the bus in a first-come first-served basis. Preference will be given to invited and foreign participants. So, if you want to use this transfer, please complete the form available at (https://forms.gle/fTckWPsSSiv4RPM18) as soon as possible. If, for any reason, you fill up the form and give up take the bus, please contact us as soon as possible at xbmsp@fisica.ufmg.br. As soon as all places are filled a confirmation e-mail will be sent.

In Belo Horizonte the opening session will be at the Auditorio 3 of the Instituto de Ciências Exatas (ICEx) of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG). In order to help you find the meeting room we’ll put signs on the walls indicating how to get there from the main entrance. You can get directions to ICEx from the following link https://goo.gl/maps/gKbjjy1UKxBT3zr57.  

In Ouro Preto the event will take place in the Auditorio of the Historic building of the Escola de Minas (https://goo.gl/maps/cw1ky34azqmEj9cj6).  

For those who are looking for places to stay in Belo Horizonte, some reasonable choices near UFMG are: 

- Stop Inn Plus Pampulha (http://www.booking.com/Share-ti74HH)

- Pampulha Flat (http://www.booking.com/Share-UPdsIey)

- Quality Hotel Pampulha (http://www.booking.com/Share-VoQj4A)

- Bristol Jaragua Hotel Pampulha (http://www.booking.com/Share-lqvWhzF)

- Bristol Pampulha Lieu (http://www.booking.com/Share-cRaFcJ)

All of them are at a walking distance (~20 - 30 min) from the physics department.  Ouro Preto is known for its hills. So, if you are planing to stay in a walking distance from the Escola de Minas, the following ones are good choices:

- Grande Hotel Ouro Preto (http://www.booking.com/Share-89tZhe)

- Hotel do Teatro (http://www.booking.com/Share-5HfDD8)

- Pousada Colonial (http://www.booking.com/Share-jnXyn4)
