The lectures will be taking place at the Spencer Fox Eccles Buisiness Building, or briefly SFEBB. (The official address of the building is 1655 Campus Center Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84112.) The plenary talks will be on the fifth floor in SFEBB 5130. Short talks will take place in SFEBB 5130 and also on the third floor in SFEBB 3180. The lecture rooms are each equipped with two LCD projectors and numerous white boards.
SFEBB is a 15 minute walk from the Guest House. Note that breakfast is included with your reservation at the Guest House. However, there is a Cafe right next to the lecture room on the fifth floor of SFEBB.
