WG211/M26Schedule
IFIP Working Group 2.11, Twenty-sixth Meeting
October 13-16, 2026, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada
The meeting will be held on the (outskirts of) Niagara-on-the-Lake, in the middle of the Niagara region wine country, hosted by Jacques Carette. The meeting is planned for 3.5 days, with a half day on October 16. More details, program, and registration information will be appearing on this page in the next few weeks.
Venue
The meeting will actually be held at a hotel (wineries were too expensive). Details to appear before June 10th. Be warned: the hotel itself is "in the middle of nowhere" (even though there are actually 3 hotels at that spot).
Group dinners
Dinners will be arranged at winery-restaurants. It will be necessary to take a (chartered) bus to get there, as there is nothing within easy walking distance of the hotel. Details will appear a couple of weeks before the event.
Group excursion
TBD.
Registration fee
Registration fee is TBD.

Schedule
Travel
For international travel, Toronto International (YYZ) is going to be simplest. For people who are closer, Toronto Island (YTZ), Hamilton (YHM) and Buffalo (BUF) are all possibilities.
Visa Information
Apparently most visitors to Canada now need an "electronic travel authorization (eTA)", which costs $7 and can take several days to get. So plan to apply ahead!
Accommodation
TBD.
Weather
Early October in Southern Ontario has very unpredictable weather. It could be "warm fall", (22C) or cold (6C) and rainy. And that can change on a day-by-day basis. I have never seen it snow that early.
