LOCATION AND TRAVEL
===================

Munich is located in the heart of Bavaria, at the south-east corner of
Germany. The city is home to 1.3 million people, and has excellent
museums, concert halls, and restaurants. The renowned beer gardens offer
a unique way for people to relax and meet friends. The famous
Oktoberfest begins September 17. Munich is close to the Bavarian Alps
and Austria.  The weather in early September is very pleasant, with
temperatures around 22 C. and a low likelihood of rain.

Munich offers superb access by air, rail, and road. The new Munich
International Airport has frequent flights to and from all major
cities. By rail, the city offers easy access to all major European
centres.

Upon registration you will receive more detailed information
on how to get to the hotel and the conference site.
