Accommodations

We recommend consulting a Denmark guidebook or Web site, such as those published by Lonely Planet or Rick Steves to find accommodations. Other suggestions are: www.visitcopenhagen.dk and www.net-bb.dk/ (select language, then click on COPENHAGEN or KØBENHAVN, then CENTRUM). A helpful Web site for finding private accommodations is www.citybed.dk.

Children at the Conference

Attendees must make their own arrangements for childcare. Mothers may sit with babes in arms in the classrooms. However, out of respect for others, if a baby makes any noise, we must ask mother and baby to leave the room.

Getting to the Conference

By plane: Kastrup is Copenhagen's international airport. You can use U.S. dollars or Euros at the airport, but will get kroner (Dkr) as change. Please note this is a “silent” airport—there will be no boarding calls.

Getting downtown from the airport: Taxis accept credit cards and, at 200–250 Dkr, are reasonable for groups of four. The train (~23 Dkr) links the airport with the downtown station and will take about 15 minutes. City bus #250S will take you downtown in a half hour for about the same price.
