SMIL isn’t your typical startup conference - it’s all about the right connections!

FAQ
Where is it: SMIL is happening at the venue Institut for X - right next to Godsbanen and The School of Architects. You will see the checkin area when you are near and a gate saying SMIL. The address is: Exners Plads 9, 8000 Aarhus Centrum.
Institut for x is not a building but a big area behind Godsbanen. You will see a lot of people in yellow SMIL t-shirts, so you will not be in doubt once you are there.
Parking: If you’re arriving by car, use the parking at Godsbanen (2 min walk) or Scandic Aarhus City (5 min walk).

Dress Code: There’s no formal dress code – just choose smart.
Many of the HAPPYnings (sessions) will be inside, but coffee, snacks, dinner and networking will be outside.
