Google turned up this link, ironically for a different conference. Looks
somewhat useful. http://icdea.bahcesehir.edu.tr/links.htm

I think there is a ferry that runs from Eminonu to Besiktas that we will
be able to take to the university. Since there are many people staying
in Sirkeci/Sultanahmet, will there be a shuttle service or something in
the morning to the university?

I'd just like to mention that already three conferencegoers (including
myself) will be staying at Metropolis Hostel in Sultanahmet. It's a nice
place run by nice people and the more people we have going to Bahcesehir
from Sultanahmet, the more options we will have available to us on a
daily basis. So if you haven't booked yet, consider looking them up -
they are very cheap and it is ideal if you can't afford the Golden Horn.

Hope this is useful to someone.
