The airport is approximately 31km from the conference hotels, as indicated in the following map. The journey takes around fifty minutes by car, depending on the traffic. There taxi and van services available at the airport. A special van service has been hired by SBF. All those willing to use it please send a message to Beatriz Mattos – Este endereço de email está sendo protegido de spambots. Você precisa do JavaScript ativado para vê-lo., specifying the date, time of arrival, and number of persons. This service will cost R$ 30,00/person.
Due to budget restrictions, SBF is asking all invited speakers for the plenary and symposia sections to pay their own air tickets. However, the foreign invited speakers that do not have available funds can have their tickets acquired by SBF or be reimbursed on the basis of economy class. Those needing this help and who have not yet done it, are kindly requested to send a message to Beatriz Mattos – Este endereço de email está sendo protegido de spambots. Você precisa do JavaScript ativado para vê-lo. specifying their flight plan.
In the case of invited speakers from Brazil, the payment of air transportation will depend on the approval of the funding applications submitted by SBF to different agencies.

As mentioned in the Program, the morning activities will be held in the three conference hotels according to the following distribution
ATT: Booking at Praimar Hotel, Rifoles Hotel and PontalMar Hotel should be done directly with the hotel for "Encontro de Física 2016".

Therefore, those who wish to stay close to their fellows of the same area are suggested to book at the corresponding hotel. Nevertheless, the hotels are rather close to each other and there will be a free shuttle service among them.
Besides these hotels, are many others, including lower prices pensions, bed&breakfast available at Ponta Negra coast, as indicated in the following map.
All participants but the plenary invited speakers are required to make their own booking. Foreign invited speakers that need help with booking can contact Beatriz Mattos – Este endereço de email está sendo protegido de spambots. Você precisa do JavaScript ativado para vê-lo..
The basic hotel expenses (room and breakfast) of all foreign invited speakers will be covered by SBF. Brazilian invited speakers might have partial coverage of their hotel expenses depending on approval by funding agencies.
Simultaneous to the scientific sessions, we will hold EXPO-FÍSICA, an opportunity for your company to demonstrate its latest products and services to the Physical sciences community in Brazil. Our audience will include professionals with decision-making power or strong influence on purchasing products and services. EXPO-FÍSICA also represents an opportunity to establish contacts with researchers from all over the country.
The exhibition room will be strategically located, with direct access from the meeting rooms, and all the coffee-breaks and poster sessions will also be co-located with the exhibition – all with the goal of maximizing circulation in the exhibition area.
Finally, this year will have a session dedicated to the presentation of new products and technologies. The goal is to expose the community to more in-depth descriptions of novel techniques that may have been recently implemented in your product . If your company desires to participate, please submit an abstract with your application. The planning committee will review all submissions. We note that although this session is not necessarily scientific in nature, an in-depth technical presentation is required.
