Location
========

We are located in the upper floor of very nice historical museum in the middle of Vienna. One large conference room and two adjacent hacking areas are at our full disposal there. The whole area offers nice atmosphere and plenty of room to deploy measurement testbeds. The adjacent park is a beautiful analog distraction, especially in this time of the year. The metalab - a very active local hackerspace - is only 5 minutes away.


Accommodation Offering
======================

For those of you who are looking for a convenient and low cost accommodation option: we have made block reservation for 40 people in a nice hostel 10-15min walking distance from the Museum. The packages include 6 nights in a four-bed room incl. breakfast - for a mere €100. Follow the simple instructions below to get one of these hot deals ;-) a first come first serve scheduler is used.

============

The event is *free of charge*  and registration is optional - but it makes the organisation much easier if you tell us in advance that you plan to come.
