By Plane  

• Düsseldorf Airport is located just three kilometres from CCD Congress Center Düsseldorf.
• For taxi journeys from Düsseldorf Airport to all Messe Düsseldorf entrances or vice versa, a special fare of EUR 20 applies day and night. Depending on prevailing traffic, the journey takes approx. 10-15 minutes.
• There is also a direct shuttle service by bus 896 from the airport to the trade fair or congress centre during trade fairs.

By Train

• CCD Congress Center Düsseldorf can be easily reached from Düsseldorf railway station (Düsseldorf HBF) by underground or bus.
• Bus 722 will take you from Düsseldorf railway station to the congress center in about 30 minutes.
• Take the underground U78 (from the city centre) or the U79 (from the city centre, Kaiserswerth, Wittlaer and Duisburg) to the Messe Ost/Stockumer Kirchstraße stop. From there you can reach CCD Congress Center Düsseldorf on foot, via Stockumer Kirchstraße, in approx. 15 minutes or take the 722 bus to the final stop Messe Congress Center.
• Information on timetables, train and bus lines as well as tickets can be obtained from the Rheinbahn.
• Search for connection with Deutsche Bahn

By Car

CCD Congress Center Düsseldorf can be reached from the north via the A52 and A3 motorways, from the west via the A44 and A57 and from the south via the A57 and A59.

Input data for satnavs:
Rotterdamer Strasse at the intersection to Stockumer Kirchstrasse
40474 Düsseldorf, Germany

In the immediate vicinity of the Congress Center, follow the dedicated signposting to CCD Stadthalle, CCD Süd or CCD Ost or the parking signs.

The exhibition is the communicative core of the conference. Manufacturers and service provides present future and praxis oriented applications and products.

All the accepted papers will be published as proceedings (limited edition).

A few months after the conference, the papers will be available for purchase as single pdf file.

ECPE also presents the ECPE Young Engineer Award. In order to be considered for this Award, the candidates have to be under 35 at the first conference day.

For all questions regarding the conference participation, the preparation of lectures, posters, conference proceedings, the organization of the exhibition, etc., please contact the VDE Conference Service.
