Venue & Accomodation
The LC Meeting 2024 will take place at the Bildungsinstitut Grillhof.
For a relaxed and more enjoyable conference experience, we can offer a budget-friendly accomodation directly at the conference venue and encourage participants to make use of this opportunity!
First come - first serve!
You can request a single or double room in the registration form. Double room bookings mean that you book one spot in a room for two people, who will sleep in adjacent single beds in the same room. If you already know with whom you would like to share a double room you can indicate this persons name in the registration form.
Rooms at the Grillhof conference venue will be booked at a first come – first serve basis. We will confirm via email if your room request was successful after the registration for the conference closes. Those not able to stay at Grillhof directly will be able to make use of a contingent of reserved hotel rooms (more details on this then also in the follow-up email). Payments for the rooms at Grillhof will be made by the individual participants at Grillhof at the end of their stay. Booking as well as payments of the hotel rooms will be made by the individual participants with the respective hotels.
