We recommend that you travel by public transportation if possible. There is a limited amount of parking space at the venue so you might need to park far away from the venue if you come by car. Also, using public transportation is often the quickest way to travel, especially from Helsinki city center to Otaniemi.
The participant entrance is on the south-southwestern side of Dipoli, the event venue building. There is a large metallic sculpture of a pine cone, “Käpy-veistos”, in front of the entrance. When arriving there for the first time, please remember that you’re allowed to enter the event area only if you’re wearing a signed badge. When registering at the venue, please have your ID card and your QR code from your JunctionApp Dashboard ready.
The venue will be open from Friday 16:00 (4:00 pm) until Sunday 18:00 (6:00 pm). You can enter and leave the event venue as you wish during the event. However, note that sleeping is not allowed at the venue.
