The main conference, the invited talks, the tutorials, and the David Dill symposium will take place from July 24th to 28th in the Heidelberg Stadthalle. The Heidelberg Stadthalle is a congress and cultural center close to the Neckar river. Its construction was inspired by both Renaissance and Art Nouveau (Jugendstils).

Banquet

The banquet dinner will take place at the Heidelberg castle on July 27th evening. This castle was build in the 13th century and dominated the place where Heidelberg was later built. Places of interest there include the Museum of the pharmacy, der Großes Fass (the big barrel) of 228000 liters and the broken tower.

Airport shuttle which stops directly at the Crowne Plaza (where the workshops are), or the Lufthansa airport shuttle which also stops directly at the Crowne Plaza.
