  • Sunday 27 April: 19:00–21:00 on Sunday evening there will be a reception (at Börsen), with drinks and mingle food. The reception is free of charge with registration for the main conference or any workshop or tutorial.

Information regarding traveling on afternoon/evening of 30 April

On 30 April most streets in the inner city will be closed for the carnival, leading to some difficulties for EACL attendees that want to make their way to the airport after closing ceremonies. One way to avoid this traffic is to take a tram directly outside the conference venue, go one stop to Korsvägen and take the airport bus or a taxi from there. Another possibility is to take a taxi and go via Sahlgrenska to the airport. The roads will close shortly before the carnival and open again after the carnival and should be fully operational after 8pm.

To avoid unnecessary problems, we ask that you reserve some extra time for the way back to the airport on 30 April or that you stay and watch the the carnival!
