Thank you very much for the information, Dr. Wells.

I have included the program and directions information below. The driving
directions can also be found at the ISIS Website at:
http://www.isis.georgetown.edu

The hotel is next door to the building where ISIS Center is located. The
hotel (Holiday Inn) address is: 2101 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Washington, DC
20007. The ISIS center address: 2115 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Suite 603,
Washington, DC 20007. The ISIS Center is to the north of the hotel and is
on the same side of the Wisconsin Avenue as the hotel. It takes about 5
minutes walking from the hotel to the 2115 building. There is a map in the
directions at the ISIS website. If you have further questions, please do
not hesitate to let me know. Thnak you.
