Dear all,

On behalf of I-COM's Patronage Associations, we are pleased to send you this Arrival Advisory with some important tips for the I-COM Dinner Evening Cologne. The tips concern transport, venue, food and social networking. I'd like to thank our Programme Board and Sponsors for making this event possible. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Andreas Cohen, I-COM Chairman

Venue & Timing 

The I-COM Dinner Evening Cologne will be held at Restaurant VINTAGE, Hahnenstrasse 37, 50667 Köln (Tel. 0221 - 920710) on Wednesday, September 21st @ 19.30. From the dmexco, one can reach the venue by taxi, U-Bahn or car. I-COM recommends allowing 30-45 minutes to get from dmexco to VINTAGE. Kindly see the corresponding sections below for further information.

rsvp / Seated Dinner

The I-COM Dinner Evening Cologne is a seated dinner which is now filled to capacity with a waiting list. We consider your registration as a firm commitment to attend. Should your plans change, kindly email us.

Taxi 

Departing from the dmexco in the evening, there can be long lines at the taxi stand. One can pre-order a taxi (Tel. 0221-2882), but their policy is not to pick people up at Kölnmesse during an event. However, a pre-ordered taxi can come to Hotel Radisson Blu which is a few minutes walk away.

U-Bahn / Metro 

Another effective method of transport is the U-Bahn (Metro) which has its own station, appropriately named 'Koelnmesse', a few minutes walk from the dmexco. Take the U-Bahn South to 'Neumarkt' station and then walk a few minutes to VINTAGE.

Car / Parking 

If you're traveling by car, you may need a parking garage. The closest one is at Lungengasse 35 which is open til midnight and a few minutes walk from VINTAGE.

Vegetarian / Special Meal 

Should you require a vegetarian meal or have any other special dietary requirements, kindly email us by Monday evening.

Checking-in? Foursquare 

Attention all Foursquare users! An official I-COM Foursquare venue has been established at VINTAGE, titled 'I-COM Dinner Evening Cologne'.
