__NOTOC__

'''The Multimedia Conference that frees the cone in you!'''

This is a technical un-conference, please bring laptops, cords, RJ45 cables and a good mood with you.

=== Note well ===
* If you expect [[VideoLAN]] to refund your travel, please bring a printed copy of your tickets including total cost.
** If you are not already in our reimbursement database, please bring a printed [[wikipedia:IBAN|IBAN statement]] too.

= Practical information =

The meeting is held in [http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Dublin Dublin], [http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Ireland Ireland].

Feel free to use Flameeyes as local point of contact before, during and after the event.

== Emergency situation ==
In case of emergency, call the European emergency number '''112'''. The UK number '''999''' also works.

== Payment ==
Most venues will accept credit and debit cards as long as they are Chip & PIN; American swipe cards can be slightly more tricky but not exceedingly. American Express is barely accepted.

== Accomodation ==

For sponsored participants, there are two different hotels this year. Check your mail to know which one applies to you.

=== Transportation ===
Both hotels can be reached from the airport using the ''Aircoach'' bus service at 8€/one way, 14€/return. For the full list of bus services, [http://www.dublinairport.com/gns/to-from-the-airport/by-bus-or-coach.aspx bus/coach check the airport site].

Regular bus lines like 16A every 20min for only 2.20 euro [http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/16a/]

Taxi from the airport is estimated at 30-40€ one way. Tipping (10-20%) is optional but appreciated. If the driver offers to take the ''tunnel'', note that it involves a 3€ surcharge.

We recommend against renting a car as parking in the city can be challenging (and also to many people, driving on the left side of the road).

'''NOTE''': VideoLAN does not refund taxi expenses nor car rentals.

== Main venue ==

[https://www.google.ie/maps/place/Google+Docks/@53.339791,-6.236544,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x48670eeb13a9dd27:0x8c0b7757e533c712 Google Docks], in Barrow Street.

The electrical sockets are "British" '''IEC type G''' with three prongs a.k.a. [http://www.bs1363.org.uk/ BS 1363].

The electrical system is '''220V / 50Hz'''. If you come from the Americas, please make sure your devices are compatible beforehand.

Hotel bathrooms are often an exception, providing 110/220V split sockets, accepting US and Europlug connectors (not grounded). They are marked as "shavers only".

=== Internet ===

At the venue, the '''GoogleGuest''' open WiFi is available at all times.

Most hotels and coffee shops will have available WiFi, but some might require registration.

The airport has a free WiFi network with captive portals.

SIM cards can be freely bought with nothing more than an ID and a card/money.
