WG211/M17Schedule
IFIP Working Group 2.11, Seventeenth Meeting
July 17-20, 2017 in Koblenz, Germany.
The meeting will be held in Koblenz, Germany, hosted by Ralf Lämmel (University of Koblenz-Landau).
The meeting will last 3.5 days; the first three days (July 17-19) will be full-day, whereas the last day (July 20) will be a half-day session. Recommended arrival is afternoon/evening of Sunday 16 July. Recommended departure is noon Thursday 20 July.
Venue
The meeting will take place at Contel Hotel Koblenz (Google Maps). The hotel is right at the Mosel River, it is less than 1km from the most beautiful parts of the old city. If the weather is nice, you can walk to the hotel from the main station. Otherwise, get on the bus (3/13, direction Güls) and get off after 9mins at Ludwig-Erhardt-Str. The deal for the conference hotel assumes that we are also booking rooms in the same hotel.
Travel
Frankfurt Airport is well connected to Koblenz. Terminal 1 is connected to the regional and inter-city/express train station. From the train station there is an hourly service to Koblenz. You may need to change trains in Mainz. The journey by train takes about 70 minutes. You should buy the train ticket online. Alternative airports include Cologne-Bonn Airport and Hahn Airport both with similar journey times. The Koblenz main train station is 2.3km from the conference hotel, several public transportation options are available; in particular: bus 3/13, direction Güls, station Ludwig-Erhardt-Str., travel time 9mins.
Accommodation
The deal for the conference hotel assumes that we are also booking rooms in the same hotel.
The price for a hotel room is 90 Euro per night incl. VAT and breakfast. (Note: If you travel with spouse, the price is 106 Euro instead, subject to change).
Please reserve your hotel room by email: hotel@contel-koblenz.de
Please cc laemmel@uni-koblenz.de so that the local organizer is aware of your booking and can assist.
You need to mention "IFIP WG 2.11" in the email reservation, and you need to mention arrival and departure dates explicitly: arrival should be Sunday 16 July, departure should be Thursday 20 July.
Here is a cleverly crafted hotel reservation mailto link that includes the relevant information.
Registration
To register add your name to the attendance list below (or email a chair-person to have it added for you) and reserve a room at the hotel (accommodation, above). The registration fee is 350 Euro.
You pay in two parts.
Part I: Conference facilities
(Note: If you travel with spouse, this part is not relevant for your spouse.)
Assuming you stay for the full period, you will pay 203 Euro with your hotel bill, to cover the related conference services.
For example: you stay 16-20 July (4 nights). Your hotel bill will be 90*4+203=563 Euro.
This covers use of conference facilities, refreshments, and lunch.
Part II: Catering and social events
(Note: If you travel with spouse, this part is relevant for your spouse, if she/he wants to take part.)
In addition to the hotel, each participant needs to pay an extra 147 Euro to "Landeshochschulkasse Mainz" (see below).
You can pay by bank transfer or cash onsite.
This covers all the social events.

Excursion
TripAdvisor provides some fairly "exhausting" list of local attractions. One thing to keep in mind is that Koblenz is a wine region. Magically, both the Mosel river and the Rhine river meet right at Deutsches Eck ("German Corner"). Koblenz has a beautiful old city. One is supposed to visit nearby castles, fortresses -- many of them along the rivers (mainly the Rhine river). Such visits may be very well done on a (rented) bike. For instance, one should strive for Lorelei (a rock). If you should run out of ideas, you could still go to Bonn and Cologne.
