Ready for the conference

The conference is being hosted by University of Palacky in a building call the Konvikt.  Despite the sound, this is not the place where criminals are locked up.  It is an old Convent, so a church structure.  There are apparently about 25,000 students in this town of 100,000, so it is a university town.  I'm not sure if they are currently on leave or what, because they are definitely not around campus today.


A nice welcome
The meeting space for the conference at the university.  There are supposedly 25,000 students here, but I only saw a handful of them.  I don't know if they were on break or where they all were...
Hallway in the university - quite lovely architecture (doesn't feel much like a university)
There were classrooms all along this hall.  Some very modern, some more classic, most with tables and chairs or fold down seats.  No single desks.
Stairwell at the university.
