Conference Venue

The conference will take place at Hotel Hvide Hus, Aalborg, Denmark. Hotel Hvide Hus is conveniently located in the beautiful setting of Kildeparken with a magnificent view of the town.

Aalborg itself has both the cultural amenities of a pulsating city and the intimate charm of a "small" town, with pedestrian streets offering absorbing shopping and flourishing café and restaurant life, including several establishments of international class.

And, at more than 1,000 years old, the town has all sorts of exciting stories to tell through attractions such as Jens Bangs Stenhus and the Lindholm Høje Viking Settlement. You can read more about Aalborg here on this site, or you can more about Aalborg, and Northern Jutland from Visit Aalborg's site - and more about Denmark on Visit Denmark.

Aalborg - Getting there and around

Lying at the crossroads of Europe, the Baltic and Scandinavia, Aalborg is easy to get to and to get around in once you’re here. Copenhagen is the main air traffic hub of Northern Europe and is served by some 60 international airlines, among them numerous low-budget airlines, flying non-stop from 120 cities around the world. Once you’re in Copenhagen, it only takes 45 minutes to get to Aalborg (AAL) and the city is linked to Copenhagen by around 40 daily flights.

For further information and prices please check SAS, Cimber Air and Norwegian.
