From LinuxTag Public Wiki
LinuxTag 2014 takes place at STATION Berlin.
Buildings and lecture halls
We use together with droidcon the buildings 4, 5, and 6.
The back part of building 4 (lower floor) hosts five lecture halls Stage A, B, C, D, and E with a capacity of approximately 90 pax each. Building 5 (upper floor) hosts mainly the two bigger Stages 11 and 12 with a capacity of approximately 500 and 300 pax, respectively. This stage naming scheme is now fixed.
Please note that about half of the lecture halls are used by droidcon sessions and half by LinuxTag. For a more specific usage plan see below.
