<div>== Venue Location ==<br />
<br />
BruCON is held at the Surf House in Evere. It's ideally located between Brussels National Airport (Zaventem) and Brussels North Railway Station.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Surf House features a big auditorium, a lounge and several modular workshop rooms.<br />
In the auditorium, there are five huge screens to provide a panoramic view of the message you wish to convey. This area is perfect for holding presentations as the high-tech apparatus is a boon for efficient and professional communicating. In the lounge you can relax yourself in between the presentations and workshops and join us at the party on Saturday evening.<br />
<br />
<br />
The location is easy to reach by train, bus, car or taxi. See below for more information.<br />

===By bus===<br />
<br />
If you want to use public transportation in and around Brussels, check [http://www.stib.be/appl/EN/39100E.asp the stib/mivb site].<br />
<br>Here is the [http://stib.be/irj/go/km/docs/STIB-MIVB/INTERNET/attachments/Plan_reseau/20090406-plan.pdf public transportation map (pdf 1.7Mb)]<br />
<br>To reach the venue by bus:<br />
* line '''59''' (from Flagey/Maalbeek/St-Josse (behind Madou)) direction '''Bordet station''', stop at '''Carli'''<br />
* line '''69''' (from Schaerbeek railstation) direction '''Jules Bordet''', stop at '''Carli''' but if you're at the Station it's a five minutes walk anyway.<br />
Schaerbeek Station can itself be reached by much more bus lines and trains of course. Check the pdf map mentioned above or try the [http://www.stib.be/appl/EN/39100E.asp auto-planner of the stib/mivb]<br />
<br />
=== By train ===<br />
<br />
You can check train schedules to Brussels [http://www.b-rail.be/main/E/index.php here].<br />
Once in Brussels you can take a secondary train to the Schaarbeek Station (schedule on same link but domestic).<br />
From the Schaarbeek station, it's [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=schaarbeek+station,+belgium+to+surfhouse,+brussels&sll=35.476243,-98.434106&sspn=40.914568,93.164063&ie=UTF8&z=16 a five minute walk] to the surfhouse<br />
<br />
=== By plane ===<br />
<br />
Our Nation Airport is located near Brussels at Zaventem and very close to the Surf House, check http://www.brusselsairport.be/en/<br />
<br />
Note that when you book your airplane tickets you head for Brussels National Airport (Zaventem) and not for Brussels North, which is in Antwerp, or for Brussels South ,which is in Chaleroi.<br />
<br />
<b> Airplane tickets are at an all time low. Check www.checkfelix.com or www.joker.be to find the cheapest flight. </b><br />
<br />
From the airport you can take a taxi, bus or train to the center of Brussels or straight to the venue in Evere. <br />
<br />
Taxi: They are lined up just outside of the arrival hall of the airport but be careful they're quite costly (~20€ to go to center, up to 40€ if night) and not the best option if you arrive during peak hours.<br />
<br />
Bus: The bus station is located on level 0 (1 level lower than the arrival hall), take bus number 471 on platform A. It goes straight to the center of Brussels. <br />
<br />
Train: The train station is located on level -1 (2 levels lower than the arrival hall). Probably the best option if you want to go to the center.<br />
<br />
=== By Space Craft ===<br />
