Conference Venue
If you zoom out of your current location, spin the Earth a few times around, then zoom in to Denmark, you can see the island of Sjælland with the Danish capital Copenhagen. North of Copenhagen there is Fredensborg, where the Danish Royal Family is spending their springs and autumns. No, the conference is not at the Royal Palace, but next to it – welcome to Danhostel Fredensborg, located at Østrupvej 3, 3480 Fredensborg.
Nearby you can walk to and admire lake Esrum, which is the second biggest in Denmark (17,3 km²). It is also safe (if not cold in April) to swim.
