Early bird registration at a discount of 100 euro ends 16 April 2012.
Venue
ASPO 2012 will take place at Palais Niederösterreich, a historic building in the first district of Vienna, close to many sights of Vienna´s inner city. The Palais has had a very eventful history. It was originally the home of the so-called estates, the political representatives of upper classes, knights, prelates and towns. The estates acquired the property in 1513 in order to be near the reigning prince and to hold assemblies in Vienna. Precious interiours such as the “Landhauskapelle” and the “Gotisches Zimmer” have been preserved from this late Gothic building

I’m planning on attending this year for the first time. Does anyone one know who the potential additional speakers might be as there seem to be a lot of speaker to be announced spaces?
I live in Baden about 20min with the train to Vienna. Baden is the birthplace of Sir Roulette the mathematician and inventor of the game. I can arrange hotel or cheap room here in Baden. Also rooms in the city of vienna. Also more support and restaurants etc.
I want to go to this.
