The conference venue is Tampere Hall, where all the scientific sessions will be held. Built in 1990, Tampere Hall was designed to provide a modern venue for concerts, congresses, exhibitions and similar functions. There are three auditoria as well as several meeting rooms, a large exhibition hall and full catering services. No transportation is needed from the hotels to Tampere Hall because the hotels are located within a close range from Tampere Hall. Tampere Hall is about half a kilometre from the city centre and located next to the University of Tampere.
