Warpstock Europe 2001 Travel Update

The biggest OS/2 event in Europe is less than 4 months away, so it is time
to start planning your journey to Warpstock Europe 2001, especially if you
have a busy schedule in November and you don't want to miss one day of
this exciting three-day conference.

"This year's event site is perfectly located for most visitors", says Team
Coordinator John Bijnens. "With Hasselt (Diepenbeek) we have found a
location that can be reached by car in less than one hour from most major
cities in Belgium and in just a few hours from major cities in The
Netherlands, Germany and France." Web master & Technical Coordinator Johan
Driesmans says : "We are expecting visitors from all over Europe and even
people from other continents to attend Warpstock Europe this year, and we
want to provide them with an overview of their traveling options to help
them plan their journey."

Most international flights to Belgium arrive at Zaventem (BRU - Brussels),
which is located approximately 70 km from the event site. If you are
planning to rent a car and drive to the event site yourself, you will find
several car rental companies at the airport terminal. Complete driving
directions from Brussels to Hasselt will be made available on the
Warpstock Europe web site. There are also some flights to regional
airports like Gosselies (Charleroi), Deurne (Antwerp), Bierset (Liege) and
Beek (Maastricht, NL). Those are often operated by low budget airlines, so
it may be worthwhile to check them out too.

Traveling by train to Warpstock Europe is a convenient alternative.
There's a train shuttle service between the airport terminal in Zaventem
and the city center of Brussels. The Belgian railway operator NMBS offers
connections to Hasselt every hour from all major cities in Belgium,
including Brussels, Antwerp, Gent, Leuven, Ostend and Luik (Li ge). On
weekdays, train connections are available every half hour from Brussels,
Gent and Leuven. 

From the city center of Hasselt - which is only a few kilometers away from
the event site, several bus routes are available at very affordable rates,
to take you to the KHLim Campus in Diepenbeek. Up-to-date bus schedules
for connections from Hasselt to the event site are available for download
at the Warpstock Europe web site.
