Directions to the venue:
From Schiphol Airport to Centraal Station
There are trains from the airport to Amsterdam Centraal Station roughly every 15 minutes. Taxis are quite expensive. You will need to buy a train ticket at the airport before getting on a train. Tickets can not be bought once you board a train and you will incur a fine if you do not have a valid ticket. Schiphol station is directly below the airport. You can travel on NS (the Dutch Railways) with either a single-use chipcard or a multiple-use OV-chipcard. Both are available from the Ticket- and Service desks, which are situated close to the red/whitechecked cube at Schiphol Plaza, or from the yellow, automated ticket machines (which take credit/debit cards). At Schiphol airport these machines have a blue sign overhead reading ‘traintickets’ and are located near the platforms. If you have a multi-use OV-chipcard you can also use the ticket machines to load extra money onto your card. Your chipcard ‘ticket’ is only valid for travel if you check in before your journey. You must also check out with your ticket at the end of your journey before leaving Centraal Station. At Schiphol the check-in/out points are on posts close to the entrance of each platform’s stairs / escalators. At Amsterdam Centraal there are barriers where you should check out, even if the barriers are open. NOTE: There is more than one station in Amsterdam and not all trains from Schiphol go to Centraal Station, so ensure that the platform-level destination indicator shows Amsterdam CS or Amsterdam Centraal.
From Central Station to GÉANT Amsterdam
Tram lines 1, 2 and 5 leave from the front of Central Station and run past the GÉANT office. You will need to get off at Koningsplein (quite often referred to as the flower market by the conductor).
