Conference Check-in / Arriving at the bcc

Our guide for a flawless check-in for the conference.

Getting to the Venue

The bcc is at Alexanderplatz and very easy to get to. 'How to get to the bcc.'.

Check-In

The check-in entrance is on the left side under the mosaic. Once you have your badge, you will be able to use the front doors to enter and exit the bcc.

Following are the instructions on the check-in process, luggage, and cloakroom (below).

Early Check-In on Sunday

Most participants will arrive on Monday morning. To reduce queuing on Monday, we offer early badge collection on Sunday. If you are already in Berlin on Sunday, we recommend that you take advantage of the early check-in. It will significantly improve the check-in experience on Monday if more people took advantage of the early check-in 😉

tl;dr

15:00 - 18:00 early registration / badge pick-up at the venue for all attendees.
