Rails World is committed to making the event accessible to everyone. If you have specific accessibility needs or require any accommodations, please us know on the registration form, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Yes, the Beurs van Berlage is wheelchair accessible, and wheelchair users can expect to use the lifts for:

• Entering from the street to the lobby.
• Descending to level -1 where the restrooms and cloakroom are located.
• Ascending to the first floor where the workshops are held.
• All other programmed activity will take place on the ground level after you enter through the lobby.

While the building is fairly long, most of the program will take place on two tracks and in the Sponsor Lounge, the entries of which are all located closely together; meaning walking can be kept to a minimum if need be. There will be plenty of seating throughout the space to relax. Attending workshops will require a longer distance, as they are located one floor higher at the end of the building. As an indication, the longest room is 45 meters long.

There will be closed caption screens to the left and right of the stages for those who need it.

The following will be available at the venue:

• a light breakfast (emphasis on the light- if you need a substantial breakfast, we recommend eating before arriving)
• lunch on both days sponsored by Codeminer42
• snack breaks
• all-day non-alcoholic drinks and coffee
• Barista coffee carts with espresso, lattes, and cappuccinos sponsored by Cedarcode The Closing Party will also have passed appetizers and beer, wine, and soft drinks.

Yes, the Beurs van Berlage venue is equipped with a manned cloakroom where you can store coats, luggage and personal belongings during the event. Although this is a closed conference only open to ticket holders, attendees are always advised to watch their belongings closely throughout the venue.

A nursing room is available. Please indicate on the registration form if you intend to bring a small child and will need to make use of this room.
