We look forward to welcoming you to the Gamma2016 Symposium in Heidelberg (Stadthalle) next week (July 11-15, 2016). This is to give you some final details that may be of relevance to you:

(1) Conference Program:
The latest version of the program is available here.

(2) Registration:
Registration will open on Monday morning (July 11th) at 8 am, and we kindly ask you to be on time for the opening of the conference. If you still need to formally register or pay for one of the social events, please proceed directly to the office of BESL (sign-posted); otherwise simply pick up your material at our counter in the foyer (checkroom). If you arranged for bank transfer, please make sure that your payment has been processed to avoid additional on-site payment. If you are in doubt, please contact BESL, our service provider handling financial registration, directly.

(3) Presenters's instructions:
The conference rooms are equipped with projectors etc. Please note that *all contributed talks* have to be uploaded to a central computer in the internet room (sign-posted) well in advance. Accepted formats are *PDF* (recommended) and *Powerpoint*. Note that presenting contributed talks from other than the central computer is usually not possible because of the tight schedule. The preferred form for bringing your presentation is on a USB memory stick.
Posters (with dimensions limited to ISO A0) can be put up on Monday morning (after 8am) and will be on display on the ground floor during the *whole* conference (see here for a map). They will be grouped together according to the associated field chosen during submission. Allocations follow the identification numbers (ID above each abstract) given in the program booklet that you will receive during registration.

(4) Poster Viewing Session:
There will be a dedicated poster dinner session on Monday evening (starting at 6:30 pm) and authors are kindly asked to stay close to their posters during this time.

(5) Local Transport:
The conference site ("Stadthalle") is close to the central tram (lines 5, 21, 22, 23, 26) and bus station at "Bismarckplatz" (approx. 500m along the river). Please check our webpage for further details on transportation here.

First Circular (2016-02-08)

We are pleased to announce that the 6th International Symposium on High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy (Gamma2016) will take place in Heidelberg, Germany, July 11-15, 2016.

Following the tradition of past Symposia, the 2016 meeting will cover all major observational and theoretical aspects of the field with an emphasis on the high (GeV) and very high (TeV) energy intervals of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Scientific topics addressed will range from the origin of galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays to the physics and astrophysics of compact objects (Pulsars, Microquasars, AGN) and their relativistic outflows, as well as to cosmological issues related to Dark Matter, Intergalactic radiation and magnetic fields, and topics relevant to fundamental physics.

The Symposium will be held at Heidelberg's magnificent Stadthalle (Town Hall), situated between the historic heart of the city (Altstadt) and the Neckar river.

News and up-to-date information about the conference are available on the conference website at http://www.mpi-hd.mpg.de/hd2016/ Full registration including abstract submission will open in March 2016.

We look forward to seeing you in Heidelberg!
