 h3. Getting to the venue 

 h4. By Train 

 The local and regional train station "Friedrichstr" is very close to the event venue.    A variety of trains, S-Bahn as well as U-Bahn (underground) are interconnecting at Friedrichstr. 

 Please note *you must use the exit "Schiffbauerdamm"*, which you can reach exclusively from the western end of the top-most rail tracks of S3/S5/S7/S9, as *it is the only exit that gets you to the northern shore of the river Spree*.    _All other exits of the station will not get you where you need to be!_. 

 h4. By Plane 

 The TXL bus takes you directly from the Berlin TXL airport to the central station (_Berlin Hauptbahnhof_), where you can change into any east-bound S-Bahn train such as S3, S5, S7, S9 and exit two stops later at _S Friedrichstrasse_, which is within walking distance of the venue. 

 Coming from SXF airport, probably best take the S9 which brings you all the way to _S Friedrichstrasse_, which is within walking distance of the venue.
