Practicalities
Helsinki is a compact city and it is easy to get around by public transport or by foot. We will soon post hotel recommendations on this page. All the recommended hotels are located within a few minutes' walking distance of the workshop venue.
Dress code is informal throughout the workshop, however you may want to bring something a bit more dressy for the dinner on Thursday, June 11. The weather in Helsinki in early June is unpredictable - sun and day temperatures of +20°C [68°F] are equally common as +12°C [53,6°F], wind and rain. We advise you to consult a weather site just before the workshop and equip yourself accordingly.
Lodging
We have arranged a special deal for you with two hotels which are both situated in the centre of Helsinki. The deals apply for June 10-13, 2009 making it possible for you to come a day early or leave a day after the workshop, however you wish. Please note that you are supposed to make your own reservations and settle your own room bills at the hotel. For more information about the hotels and reservation details please contact katja.peltola at hanken.fi
