1. **Use one of the lifts** to go to the first or second floor.
- First floor: Registration area and tutorials
- Second floor: Conference rooms and sponsors area (Wednesday–Friday)
1. **Exit** the lift and **turn right**, go through the doors **back into the hallway**.

Please be mindful of others in the room and keep noise to a minimum.

##### Low stimulation room (South room 243)

## Sprints / Unconference Venue (Saturday & Sunday)

The sprints and unconference will take place at a [different venue](/venue#where-1) than the main conference.

The main entrance to the building is accessible for wheelchair users via a platform (the entrance from the main road). If you choose to enter the building via the operational-side reception from the Vltava, then there is access along a straight line and slightly up a hill. The spaces are connected by an elevator that also leads to -1, where there is a wheelchair toilet.

Assistance dogs are allowed in the venue, but other dogs will need to be left at home.

If you prefer, you can use the dedicated childcare rooms at the conference venue to feed your child. But – as stated above – you are not required to do so.
