Venues
Please note that the conference and the workshops take place in two different venues in Copenhagen.
The conference on Thursday May 23 is at Marketenderiet, one of Copenhagen’s most beautiful event spaces. The address is Kirsten Walthers Vej 5.
The workshops on Friday May 24 take place at Mogens Dahl Koncertsal, which is a small beautiful concert hall. It used to be a barn, but today it’s a multifunctional house with classical concerts and events. The address is Snorresgade 22.
Getting to the venues
There is excellent public transportation all over Copenhagen. Depending on where you’re staying in the city, a City Pass Small can cover all transport from the airport and to the venues. You can purchase your City Pass in advance here or in ticket machines. Google maps is great for planning your trip by train, metro or bus to either venue.
Public transportation to Marketenderiet (Thursday May 23):
Trains or S-trains to Valby Station or Ny Ellebjerg Station. Bus line 8A stops 2 minutes from Marketenderiet. Other bus lines close to the venue: 4A, 14, 132 and 133.

Public transportation to Mogens Dahl Koncertsal (Friday May 24):
Bus line 250S (stop at Kigkurren) or the Metro line M1, stop at Islands Brygge (approximately 8 minutes walk) away.
All taxis in Denmark accept payment by major credit cards. Uber is not available in Denmark.
Of course, the fastest, easiest and most Danish way to get there would be to rent a bike. There are numerous bike shops that provide rental bikes and a city bike program as well.
Both venues have limited street parking. Payment for parking is handled via EasyPark, ParkPark, Parkman app or a normal parking meter. Remember to note what parking area you are in.
