Getting There

• Berlin is well-connected by air, with Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) serving as the primary international gateway. Most international flights arrive here, located approximately 25 kilometers southeast of the city center. From the airport, you can reach Berlin's city center via the Airport Express train, which takes around 30 minutes and connects directly to major transit hubs. Berlin's public transportation system is comprehensive and efficient, featuring S-Bahn (commuter rail), U-Bahn (subway), trams, and buses that cover the entire city. Once in Berlin, these services make it easy to reach your accommodation and the conference venue. Alternatively, taxi services and rideshare options are readily available throughout the city for convenient point-to-point travel.
