How to reach the venue
The meeting venue is the Institute of Applied Computing and Community Code (IAC3), located at Parc Bit, Carrer Blaise Pascal 6, 07121 Palma. Parc Bit lies outside the city centre, but is straightforward to reach by metro, city bus or taxi.
From Palma city centre. The most convenient starting point is Plaça d'Espanya / Estació Intermodal, the main transport hub in central Palma.
- By metro: Line M1 "Metro Palma – UIB – ParcBit" from Estació Intermodal, running 06:35–21:35 every 10–20 minutes. Get off at the final stop, ParcBit; the venue is a 9-minute walk. Tickets cost €1.80 at the station machines. Total travel time is about 27 minutes.
- By bus: EMT line 19 "UIB i Parc Bit – Porta des Camp", running 06:55–21:38 roughly every 20 minutes, final stop ParcBIT. Journey time from Plaça d'Espanya is about 38 minutes. The €2 fare is paid on board (card or cash).
Walking from the ParcBit metro stop. The institute is a short walk from the station. There are two small pedestrian bridges along the way: take the second one (Bridge 2) to reach the IAC3 building.
From Palma Airport (Son Sant Joan).
- By bus: Take EMT line A1 "Aeroport – Palma Centre" to Plaça d'Espanya (05:30–03:10, every 12 minutes, €5 cash on board), then transfer to line 19 to ParcBIT (€2 on board). Total travel time is about 1 hour 10 minutes.

Accommodation in Mallorca
Accommodation is to be arranged by the participants on an individual basis. Central Palma offers a wide range of options and is well connected to the venue by metro line M1 and bus line 19, both departing from Plaça d'Espanya / Estació Intermodal. Accommodation within walking distance of that hub is therefore the most convenient choice. We recommend booking early.
