1. Travel
The Conference venue is Copenhagen Business School (CBS) located in Copenhagen City. A map and travel directions can be found here.
Most conference activities take place at CBS's main campus on Solbjerg Plads 3 (adjacent to the Metro Station 'Frederiksberg'). Selected conference activities will also take place at the CBS localities 'Kilen' (Kilevej 14A - adjacent to the Metro Station 'Fasanvej/Solbjerg') or 'Dalgas Have' (adjacent to the Metro Station 'Lindevang'), all within walking distance of the main conference venue.
There are two convenient ways to reach CBS from Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup): by taxi or by train.
Taxi
Taxies depart from all airport terminals. No pre-booking is needed. The average trip will cost less than 250 DKK (depending on traffic and time of day). All taxis provide a printed receipt if asked. VISA cards and other major credit cards are usually accepted. Tipping is not used for transport or in hotels. Taxies are called at +45 3810 1010 or +45 3535 3535.
Train
The train departs from Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup) International Terminal 3 (one level down).
Buy a ticket (3 zones - 30 DKK) to 'Frederiksberg' Metro station at the ticket office in the arrival terminal 3, located at the head of the escalator to the platform. Tickets cannot be bought on the platform or on the train. The fine for traveling without a ticket is 600DKK. While valid (1.5 hours), the same ticket may be used on all trains or buses within central Copenhagen.
Take the train towards Copenhagen or 'Helsingør' (and NOT towards 'Malmø' (in Sweden)). It departs from the airport terminal every 10 minutes during the working hours and every 20 minutes the rest of the day and during weekends. Get off at 'Ørestad' and take the Metro to 'Frederiksberg' (direction 'Vanløse'). Alternatively: If the destination of the train leaving the airport is 'Helsingør', you can save 5 minutes by continuing on the train and changing to the Metro at 'Nørreport' (one level down. Escalators or stairs on the platform) to 'Frederiksberg' (direction 'Vanløse').
Currency
Please note that Denmark is NOT part of the Euro zone, but has kept its own national currency: DKK ('Kroner'). Present exchange rates may be found here.
