| After all pitches have been made (you don't need to be present to pitch an idea), teams will form to work on the ideas. You can work on 1 idea at a time. Work on ideas may finish before the end of the three days - in that case, the team will pick a new idea (with the same or different members) and work on that. | | After all pitches have been made (you don't need to be present to pitch an idea), teams will form to work on the ideas.

| ==Transportation to/from the hotel and airport==
| |
| There are several ways to get to the hotel or office (the office is about a 4 minute walk from the hotel).
| |
|
| |
| The most economical way to get to the hotel from the airport is to take the Roissybus to the Opera stop and walk to the hotel (about 7 minutes walk)

| |
|
| |
| The Paris Rail system is less subject to traffic, but requires you to change trains to get to the hotel.
| |
| There are two separate transportation systems in Paris - the Metro (subway) and RER (suburban train lines). The RER is the train service that goes to CDG, and there are train stops within CDG airport,
| |
|
| |
| Instructions:
| |
| *Take the RER B line from CDG to Paris - here are [http://parisbytrain.com/airport-to-paris-terminal-1/ very detailed instructions] on how to find the station in the airport if you need them.
| |
| *Transfer at Châtelet - Les Halle to the RER A (red) line.
| |
| *Take the RER A towards La Défense
| |
| *Exit at the Auber station, walk out of the ticket gates, and then take exit 4. Rue des Mathurins
| |
| *Head east on Rue des Mathurins toward Rue Scribe
| |
| *Turn left onto Rue Scribe. Walk to the right around the circle, and then turn right on the 2nd street, Bd Haussmann.
| |
| *The hotel will be on your left in about 450m.
| |
|
| |
| Taxi service from the airport will cost approximately 40-50 Euros. There is an etherpad you can use to coordinate with other people attending the meeting - if you have 3-4 people it makes sense to take a taxi.

| =Some Tips for getting along in Paris=
| |
|
| |
| ===Being polite===
| |
| * My #1 tip: Always greet the store clerk when you enter a shop/restaurant/business. Then say goodbye when you leave. Simple French greetings are “bonjour” or “bonsoir” if it is after 6pm, and “au revoir” or “merci” when you leave. If you walk into a business and do not greet the employee/clerk/shop person, they will think you are purposely being rude. They won’t know that you just don’t have the habit of talking to strangers and don’t mean anything by it; they will see the situation through the lens of their own culture and think that you are purposely snubbing them.
| |
| http://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/cafe.jpg
| |
| *When addressing a stranger with a question, greet them first, and then ask your question.
| |
| *People generally don't speak loudly, particularly on the Metro or in businesses.
| |
|
| |
| ===Safety===

| * To avoid theft: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2013/06/paris-safety-tips/
| |
|
| |
| ===Tipping===
| |
| *Parisians generally do not tip. Service charge is usually included in the bill (which typically carries a mention like "service inclus"). However, if you feel obliged, here is are some good [http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2007/04/tipping-in-fran-1/ guidelines] written by an american chef living in Paris (his whole blog is about Paris as well]

|
| |
| ===Eating and drinking===

| |
| *[http://www.happycow.net/europe/france/paris/ List of vegan/vegetarian restaurants]
| |
| *[http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2008/07/where-to-find-a-good-cup-of-coff/ Good coffee] (this is harder than you think it will be)
| |
| *Tap water in Paris is totally fine to drink. By law, in a restaurant in France, if you ask for tap water, they have to give it to you.
| |
|
| |
| ===Phones/SIM cards===
| |
| * If you requested a SIM card, please see Ali on Friday.
| |
| *Some information about pre-paid cards/plans: http://prepaidwithdata.wikia.com/wiki/France & http://www.ausbt.com.au/the-best-sim-cards-for-voice-and-mobile-internet-data-in-france
| |
| * Plans are called "forfaits" in French
| |
| * Closest retail locations. You will need your passport and hotel address, as well as payment.
