food

All food that will be served has vegetarian and vegan options.

Parking

There is free street parking in the area, but as it is also an area with a lot of offices you may not be able to park in front of the venue on the street or maybe even have to walk a little bit. Another option is reserving a spot on the Haarlemmer Stroom parking terrain via Mobypark or ParkBee.

Times

Doors open at 09:00 - program starts around 10:00 on both days.

public transport

Travel to Haarlem station, please check your route in advance because there is some maintenance on the tracks at Haarlem during WICCON.

From Haarlem station there are 2 options to get to De Lichtfabriek:
1. Walking. De Lichtfabriek is 1 km away from the station. This is about a 13-minute walk.
2. By bike. You can rent an OV-fiets at Haarlem station. By bike you can reach De Lichtfabriek within 5 minutes.

Afterparty?

On Thursday we will have a networking dinner (yes, with food) and party from 18:30 - 20:00.
On Friday there will be a VRIJMIBO from 18:30 - 19:30.

Dress code

We don't have a dress code, but since we do WICCON during Halloween you are allowed to come dressed up!

Badge

Once again this year you will get a badge from us, this time it will have plenty of space for SAO's, so bring them if you have them :)

WICCON tickets

At WICCON, we believe in diversity and inclusion and make the all efforts we can to promote this. With that in mind, our Standard ticket price is kept as low as we can afford.

This year, we introduce a ‘Familiar’ ticket, which is aimed at those in situations where they cannot pay the full price to attend our conference. Those Familiar tickets are funded by our community sponsors and individuals who purchase Supporter and Business tickets. By purchasing a Supporter or Business ticket, you help us give aways tickets to those who can’t afford one.

We want everyone to get a chance to attend WICCON, but WICCON wouldn’t be possible without the necessary financial support. We make a request to future attendees that, if your company can pay for you, please purchase a Business ticket.

Familiar ticket

If paying the full ticket price is not an option for you, you can apply for a ‘Familiar’ ticket here.

This is made possible by our community sponsor IFCAT and Supporter ticket buyers! <3
