||
25 | |||
26 | The meeting / seminar / conference room at IN-Berlin is located on ground floor and has windows facing east. |
||
27 | In front of those windows is a road + sidewalk which is directly in north-south direction, |
||
28 | i.e. it ''may'' be possible to set up some (GPS, Thuraya, etc.) antennas on the sidewalk, if required. |
||
29 | Some kind of pole+stand is required, though. |
||
30 | |||
31 | == Format == |
||
32 | |||
33 | The format of this workshop is not formal lectures/talks. It's more like "guided discussions", i.e. there are |

34 | topics and each topic will get an "owner" who should introduce the topic and lead the discussion related to it. |
||

||
76 | |||
77 | IN-Berlin has a fridge with a selection of cold beverages (lemonades, club mate, water, beers) available to be purchased |
||
78 | at extremely low prices (about 1 EUR / bottle). There are tea and coffee-making facilities. They also carry some candy-bar |
||
79 | type snacks. There are several supermarkets within walking distance from the venue, if you'd like to bring your own. |
||
80 | |||
81 | === Lunch === |
||
82 | |||
83 | Lunch catering will be brought into IN-Berlin every day. Sponsoring for this will be provided by [http://sysmocom.de/ sysmocom GmbH]. |
||
84 | |||
85 | === Dinner === |
||
86 | |||
87 | Last year there were some complaints that dinner was not organized. Even if there is no sponsoring, it would have been useful to |
||
88 | at least have some reservations. We will take this recommendation and organize something. |
||

91 | == Travel == |
||
92 | |||

||
105 | |||
106 | There is some public parking in Lehrter Str., where IN-Berlin is located, but it is quite crowded. Parking your car might |
||
107 | not be easy, but not as bad as at C-Base last year. |
||
108 | |||
109 | == Accomodation == |
||
110 | |||
111 | Berlin has tons of options, from very cheap to plush and expensive. Pick your favourite. |
||
112 | |||
113 | The closest low-end option in walking distance (about 7 mins) is the [http://www.aohostels.com/en/berlin/berlin-hauptbahnhof/ A&O Hostel Berlin-Hauptbahnhof]. |
||
114 | |||
115 | A more expensive alternative within 15 minutes of walking is [http://www.motel-one.com/en/hotels/berlin/hotel-berlin-hauptbahnhof/#t=hotelinfo Motel One Berlin-Hauptbahnhof] |
