"Ernst-Reuter-Platz (U)" and "Tiergarten (S)" are the closest public transport stops. Use the BVG website to plan your trip! We will put up signs outside from those places to the TU.

In the building

Conference days - Friday, Saturday and Sunday

Registration opens at 9 and at 9:30 we start with opening, keynotes and lightning talks in room MA004, right in the main hall of the "Mathematiks" building. Registration is in front of the keynote room so you can't miss it! In the weekend lunch is outside at a food truck, during the week it is in the University Mensa at the top floor of the Mathematics building.

In the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday you can find the workshops on the 1st floor where we also have some food and drinks during breaks, room MA141. The hacking rooms on the 5th floor are open after lunch, too, so you won't be bored!

Find the Friday program here and the Saturday/Sunday program (still in motion) here.

Hackathon

During the rest of the week (Tue-Thur and Mon/Tue) we have our usual hackathon taking place on the 5th floor of the Mathematics building. This is where we are:

• 5th floor:
  • Meeting room MA541
  • Food-and-drink room MA545
  • Hacking rooms: MA548 (starters room), MA549, MA544
• Of course, coding has to be supported with some calories. In the same building, all the way to the top and up the stairs one more floor you will find your daily lunch (with your food ticket!) and a great view over the city in the University Math Mensa. During weekdays you can also find a cafe at the front of the Mathematics building, the Mathe cafe.

Note that carrying your wristband is mandatory, especially after 18:00 and on the weekend!

Connectivity and power

We have wifi and the hacking rooms are equipped with a number of network cables.

At registration, you sign up for a guest account. Use the how-tos here to connect:

• in German

We have power strips in most places but they are EU plugs - do not forget your adapters!

Getting stuff done and finding who to talk to

New to Nextcloud, looking for an introduction or answers about APIs, infrastructure or a pull request?
ask your questions in the starters room MA548

If you want to make sure a certain topic is discussed, make an agreement with the relevant people and book the meeting room. Find a scheduling paper on which to do so outside of the meeting room, MA541.

If you are looking for some non-hacking entertainment in Berlin, check our forum discussion on fun stuff to do!

You get a number of food tickets at badge pickup:

• Daily lunch tickets for the mensa on the top floor of the "Mathematik" building (during the week)
• Ticket for the social event on Saturday evening (you will get this at registration Saturday morning)
• Ticket for Saturday and Sunday lunch (available from 13:00 to 15:00)

We always have vegetarian and meat options.
