Today, I have been busy working on the conference web page, though you may not notice the changes too much at first glance. The accommodation page now contains a link to a map showing the surroundings of each hotel (click on the "detailed map" link following the hotel name). Each maps contains the following pieces of information:
- the location of the hotel, also indicated with a bed icon;
- the location of the CS department where the Working Groups will meet;
- the location of the conference center where the main conference will take place;
- the route to the closest (reasonably priced) supermarket from the hotel
- walking and tram or bus routes for reaching the CS department and the conference center from the hotel. One hotel - the Welcome Hotel - does not list tram and bus stations, since it is just across the street from both CS department and the conference center.
Additionally, I have linked a map of the local public transport system (busses and trams), which also indicates the approximate location of the CS department and the conference center.
I hope that this service will be helpful for potential and especially actual attendees. Your feedback is welcome!
