Location

The Graduate Days 2011 will be held at the KTC-Königstein Communication and Training Center Königstein, Ölmühlweg 65, 61462 Königstein.

Accomodation

The Graduate Days include an optional overnight stay at the venue. Accomodation is in double rooms. Earliest check in at the hotel is 13:00 on Thursday. We recommend to check in during the breaks or after the sessions. It is possible to store baggage after/before the stay at the hotel. Checkout is Friday at 11:00 latest.

Directions/Transportations

Transportation to the Graduate Days is self organized. Directions to the hotel can be found here.

A shuttle service from and to the S-Bahnhof Kronberg will be organized from 8:30 to 10:00 on October 27 and from 17:00 to 18:00 on October 28. Since it will be doing round-trips, you might have to wait several minutes before it arrives again and picks you up.

Parking

The parking spaces in front of the conference center are free of charge.

Dress code

As people ask. There is no dress code during the day. Just as usual. For the evening we recommend business casual, i.e. jacket but no tie, for the gents. Ladies on their own judgement.

Travel reimbursement

Since we have a shuttle service and the site is reachable within the 'Semester-Ticket' of most of our partner universities, travel will only be reimbursed in cases where this is not possible. Hotel costs will be covered by HGS-HIRe all together, no need to pay at the hotel, costs related to the Graduate Days will not be billed to your conference budget.
