How to Find the Conference Site inside the Hotel
The DEBS takes place on the second floor of the hotel's conference building (except the doctoral workshop which takes place on the first floor of the same building). Signs throughout the hotel will guide you to the conference site.
The registration desk will also be located on the second floor, next to the entrance.
Please take the elevator to the second floor. Note that in Germany, floor numbering starts with the first floor above ground level, while the ground level is referred to as "Erdgeschoss" (EG).
