Hi Robert, hi Kareem, I’m still in Rome but will speak with our travel department as soon as possible next week. They can probably recommend a few hotel options in Berlin. In my experience, finding a decent, cool, or edgy place to stay is usually not difficult. However, proximity to the venue might be important and could limit how soon we need to book a room. I’ll check with our travel department and get back to you as soon as I can. Since I’m traveling today, I won’t be able to attend today’s meeting. However, I have contacted Birgit Stiller and she would be thrilled to give a keynote and reach out to our “bio” community. Unfortunately, she can only make it on the 25th—are we able to make this work? I also reached out to Bruker after obtaining the relevant marketing and sales contacts, but was unofficially informed (at this week's EBSA conference) that they see our event as potentially promoting competing technologies, which could make them unlikely to offer support. We will see. Best wishes, Stephanie On 03.07.25 12:23, Robert Prevedel via Soc25 wrote:
Hi Kareem, hi all,
certainly that’s something useful to have, at least because it will make it more likely that many of us end up in the same hotel (or area). Jochen/Stephanie can comment about MPS suggestions/rates. I did ask CellSense about this, and they were at first hesitant since they mentioned there’re plenty of hotels and even the ones closer to city center should be well connected. I reiterated it would be nice to still have 2-3 suggestions for the abovementioned reason. I hope they will come back with some soon, but I didn’t give a deadline so not sure how soon we'll have this.
Best wishes,

Hi All, We should also propose list of suitable/suggested hotels (ideally maybe with some promotions) – and put on website. (It occurred to me because Kirill - who just accepted invite - asked where he should stay. Told him we’ll have list up soonish) Don’t know if Max Planck Society has any special deals/rates with hotels nearby? Else maybe can invoke Cellsense to help here also (since they know area etc. a little better)? All the best, Kareem _______________________________________________ Soc25 mailing list --soc25@biobrillouin.org To unsubscribe send an email tosoc25-leave@biobrillouin.org
