Practical info

 

Ghent is easy to reach by train, and its main railway station ("Sint-Pieters") has a direct connection with Brussels airport that takes about one hour. You can then hop on Tram T1 to the city centre (i.e. stop at "Zonnestraat"), where a variety of hotels are located within walking distance of the conference venue. Although it is a beautiful stroll alongside the river Liss, you can get closer to the venue with tram T1 (stop at "Bijlokehof").

 

CBM will take place in De Bijloke, which was built in the 13th century as hospital but has recently been renovated to function as music hall and conference venue. The conference dinner will be served in the Oude Vismijn, a historical market hall where fish was sold from the Middle Ages until the 1960s.
