We'll use Perk (formerly Travelperk) for booking flights as the service will invoice our organization automatically and you don't have to spend your money on flights. If you want us to refund taxi/bus/train, please take receipts and deliver them to us after the conference so you'll get your money back.

### How to get to the hotel?

Since we're located at Otaniemi, there are two good options:

-
1. Take a train to Helsinki main railway station and the jump to a subway headed to Kivenlahti (M1) or Tapiola (M2). You should leave at the stop Keilaniemi. You'll need an ABC ticket ([see HSL app](https://www.hsl.fi/)) to complete this journey and it will cost roughly five euros. Expect the travel to take about one hour. There's a bus option too but most likely a combination of train and subway is more comfortable.
18
-
2. Take a taxi. The taxi trip takes around half an hour minutes. Take care when choosing a taxi, though, as some are considerably more expensive than others and it may make sense to negotiate the price beforehand. Good companies to choose from are Taksi Helsinki (**not** Taksi Heslinki), Kovanen, and Lähitaksi. Expect the taxi to cost roughly 50 €.

We've prepared a simple yet effective process for the talks. It works as follows:

36
-
1. Show up at the speakers' room about half an hour before the session of your talk. The speakers' room can be found at the ground floor and our registration staff can point you there. Unfortunately the fireplace is out of order.
37
-
2. We'll guide you shortly before the session from the speakers' room to the main hall and do a quick tech check. If you want, you can also do this on some break before your talk and it's a good idea especially if you have audio or video elements in your presentation.

4. After the session, there will be an option for you to get a photo done. We offer this as a service to our speakers as often people have poor social media photos and it's nice to have one that's not bad. We will also produce video interviews (3-5 minutes) to give you additional coverage.
