Hi Peter and Pieter,
Thanks for the question and the information. The logistics page ( http://galaxy.psu.edu/gcc2011/Logistics.html) has been updated to reflect this. It's a 1 hour and 17 minute train ride from the airport train station to Lunteren.
Thanks,
Dave C.

Hi Peter and Dave,
I'm not from NBIC, but I'm in the Netherlands and familiar with the conference site. The suggested travel plan via Amsterdam Schiphol airport (AMS) followed by a train to Lunteren is your best bet.
Occasionally you may find cheap flights to Rotterdam or Eindhoven, but usually you will only find expensive flights to those airports with small "business jets". Trainwise it doesn't really matter whether you fly to Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Eindhoven.
(When you get to "De Wereld" don't forget to try the nice Belgium beers in "De Onderwereld"! :))
Cheers,
Pi

Hi Peter,
I believe that your suggested travel plan is indeed the best. However,
I'll confirm this with the NBIC folks and post the information here and to the web page, probably tomorrow.
Thanks,
Dave C.

Hello all,
We are pleased to announce the 2011 Galaxy Community Conference, being
held
May 25-26 in Lunteren, The Netherlands. The meeting will feature two
full
days of presentations and discussion on extending Galaxy to use new
tools
and data sources, deploying Galaxy at your organization, and best
practices
for using Galaxy to further your own and your community's research. Link: http://galaxy.psu.edu/gcc2011/
This sounds great.
Further to the provided logistics page, would Amsterdam (AMS) be the
nearest
international airport? Followed by a train to Lunteren (say under 2
hours?) then
a 15 walk to the Hotel/Conference Centre De Werelt?
