The meeting / seminar / conference room at IN-Berlin is located on ground floor and has windows facing east.

Some kind of pole+stand is required, though.

The format of this workshop is not primarily formal lectures/talks.  It's more like "guided discussions", i.e. there are
44
topics and each topic will get an "owner" who should introduce the topic and lead the discussion related to it.
