The eastern part of Waikiki and the Diamond Head crater. The conference venue, the New Otani Beach Hotel, is the tall building on the waterfront, to the left beside the big lawn in the park.

View of Waikiki Beach and Honolulu from the conference venue. Maybe, just maybe, a workshop participant or two could be spotted on the beach?

Jim Gill of the conveners and the better part of the MARGINS Office welcomed participants at the somewhat windy registration desk.

The workshop is up to full steam; exciting talks and stimulating discussions kept the participants away from the beach.
