The venue


Lunch

For lunch, we propose 2 options:

  • 2 food trucks will be available at the conference site (parking in front of the main entrance).
  • Restaurants and food stands are also available at a 7 minutes walk from the conference site, near the Pierre Mauroy stadium (look at the map above).

Coming from Lille to the conference venue

  • Polytech is ~20 min away from the center of Lille using the metro line 1 ("4 Cantons Stade Pierre Mauroy" stop). Just give a look at the map above.
  • The last meters are the easy part. On the roundabout near the metro stop, the direction to Polytech school (conference location) is indicated, just follow the "Polytech Lille" on the traffic signs.
