Q: What can I expect my housing to look like?
A: Housing is dormitory style and may be reserved as doubles or singles. Each room is equipped with two twin beds, night stands, a desk, lamps, wardrobes, and depending on your specific accommodations either an en suite bath or shared baths. For additional housing information (as well as photos of some of our rooms) please visit our Housing Information page
Q: The conference I am attending has an abstract or poster are there any rules that go along with these?
A: It is a good idea to check with the individual conference or meeting, in regards to their requirements and submission instructions when it comes to an abstract. For your poster display we have facilities for up to 65 posters, 42” x 60” portrait size. Details will come from the conference organizers on numbering and display times.
Q: I have a special dietary request?
A: Our Dining Services Team is happy to assist you with any and all dietary needs, restrictions and/or allergy. Our registration pages include a place for you to list out your requests, but if you have additional concerns or would like to talk to someone in more detail please feel free to reach out to conferences@mbl.edu
Q: I am interested in attending a meeting but am worried about the environmental impact?
A: The MBL is diligently working to improve our sustainable impact on the world. To find out more information please visit our Campus Sustainability page as well more detailed information about our compositing efforts here on campus.
Q: Is there wireless Internet Access?
A: Yes. The MBL offers wi-fi throughout our campus. The “MBL-GUEST” network is extremely easy to use and is very similar to systems that are widely deployed in hotels and Internet cafes. This wireless network has limited access to any MBL network resources, such as internal web pages, printers, and other shared devices. Click here for network login instructions.
