Please look for a bus with a sign "SSVM 2023” when you leave the airport. One of the co-organisers will be there to help.

We scheduled these times to accommodate the maximum number of people arriving at different times. However, in case you prefer to arrange your travel autonomously or you arrive on other dates, please check instructions below.

Shuttle buses (time to be confirmed) will be arranged also for Thursday May 25 from the hotel to the airport.
