With public transport:

• The first step is to reach the Massy-Palaiseau RER station located on both lines RER B and RER C (please see http://www.ratp.fr/en/ratp/c_21879/tourists/). For example, the trip from Denfert-Rochereau (Paris) takes about 25 minutes (see http://www.ratp.fr/itineraires/en/ratp/recherche-avancee).
• The second step consists in reaching Nano-Innov from the Massy RER station. Special JVRC buses will be available at the Massy-Palaiseau RER Station each morning (on the 11/12, 12/12 and 13/12) to reach the conference premices at Nano-Innov (see below for the bus location). The respective departure times are:

The return service will be provided in the evening of the 11th of December (from Nano-Innov to Massy-Palaiseau RER station at 19.00, but directly to Paris Denfert-Rochereau at 22.00 for those attending the demo evening). On the evening of the 12th, the buses will go direct to Paris for the conference diner. Finally, on the 13th of December, one bus will leave Nano-Innov for the RER Station just after lunch.

There is also a regular bus service between Massy-Palaiseau and Nano-Innov (buses 91-06B or 91-06C, but do not take the 91-06A nor 91-06D) that is available all day long. The station in front of Nano-Innov is named "Thomson-Corbeville" and the required ticket is a regular Paris metro ticket (please see http://www.caps.fr/fileadmin/user_upload/documents/horaires/hiver/Albatrans-Ligne_91_06_A_et_B-Ligne_91_10.pdf).

Leaving the RER station is through a walkway that crosses the tracks. Arriving from Paris, the regular bus stop is on the left side of the RER station (RER B bus station), while the JVRC buses will wait for you on the right side (RER C bus station). Please have a look at the GE image below:
