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) host five lecture halls A, B, C, D, and E with a capacity of approx. 90 pax. Building 5 (upper floor) hosts mainly the two bigger lecture halls F and G with a capacity of approx. A renaming of the preliminary lecture hall names may or may not apply to a later point in time.

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.
