Good to know Currency in Belgium EURO Cash machines can be found in the arrival area at the airport.

Dresscode Business casual Weather an umbrella might be a good idea Closest Airport Brussels International Airport Zaventem Airport transfers You are responsible for organizing your own transfer. Queues for taxis at Zaventem airport tend to be long and traffic in Brussels horrific. We therefore recommend the direct train to Brussels North Station (Bruxelles Nord/ Brussel Nord).

The train station is located in the airport, out of the arrival gate across to the right, take the lift or the escalator down to the bottom level. Train tickets can be purchased at the ticket vending machines, all international cards accepted, or at the ticket counter. Alternatively, get the SNCB app and purchase online before to skip the queues!

From Brussel Nord, it’s a 10min walk to the Marivaux Hotel, alternatively, metro till Rogier and 200m walk.

Incidentals The conference budget covers conference participation, accommodation for 2 nights and meals during that time; please note that you will be responsible for all other extra costs.
