Wayne is absolutely right, and at least according to the ICCM flyer 
the same is true of ICCM: tutorials on Thu 23 July, and although I 
know nothing of the detailed plans, I imagine it would not be 
comfortable to have the ICCM tutorials day overlap with the Act-R PG School.

Time between ICCM and Cog Sci would be very tight.  Even assuming 
that it's practical to travel to the Act-R School location on the 
Sunday 26 July after ICCM has ended, that still leaves at most around 
1.5 days for the School if people are to travel to Amsterdam on Tue 
28 in order to attend Cog Sci workshops/tutorials on Wed 29th.

I can see why people from outside the UK and especially from N 
America or farther would prefer not to have to extend their European 
trip still longer to include an Act-R School before ICCM, so 
altogether this looks like a difficult decision. ;-)
