The Site
The convention will be at
Ungdomens Hus.
Undomens hus has a website
but only in Swedish as far as we know. Maybe you can get an idea about
the place even if you do not understand Swedish. The address is
Huskvarnavägen 38, Jönköping. Most people in town knows
where this is. We have taken some pictures of the
site. They are here.
You can click at this link
to get a map to the site. The site is located at the litte circle in
this map.
Or here you can get a look through Google at the satellite view.
There will be a small café open at the site during Wednesday-Friday
with food and drinks.
Sleeping will occur, for some at some time. It will done at a school
close to the convention centre. You'll have to bring your own
sleeping-bag and mattress. (And toothbrush, soap, favorite teddy
bear... You get the picture.)
There will an absolute ban on drugs of all sorts: So no alcohol at the
convention site or sleeping-halls. Smoking will be permitted outdoors
only. This is not negotiable.
There's a small food-store close to the convention site, and a
pizzeria. On walking distance there's a big lake. Eh -- and other
restaurants of the fast food-variety. If you take a omnibus, you'll
find several shops and restaurants after a short ride. See below for
directions to the site.
Getting there by bus
Once in Jönköping you can get to the site by taking a bus from the central station. More
information about timetables etc (in Swedish) are available at
the website of Jönköpings lokaltrafik. They have a traffic map.
From the central station you take bus number 1 towards Huskvarna and
get off at Rosenlund. You can ask the drievr to stop at "Ungdomens
hus". Ungdomens hus is about 50 meters from the Rosenlund
bus stop. Taking the bus costs about SEK 15 and the last one leaves at
around 00:25 at night.
Getting to the site by car
If you come from Stockholm or Malmö, you'll get of the interstate E4
at Ekhagen, follow signs to Elmia Convention Fair (Elmia mässor och
kongress) --- but not all the way!
It's a bit tricky, but follow these directions closely and you'll get
there: When you get off the interstate and you drive over some
railway-tracks and the road goes parallell with the tracks, you have
to take the next turn left. (It's by the firestation). At the next
large intersection - take left again. And finally at the next
intersection take the left again - you'll see Ungdomens hus by then.
