Hello everyone. This is the first of the newsletters we will publish in the upcoming months, working our way towards the Iron Moot 2015. We are aiming to keep the flow of information constant and keep all of you up to date with what is planned and happening. So let’s get to it:
Dates
The event will be held the second weekend of august (14th to the 16th). There are several reasons for the earlier date. One is that Sweden and Gothenburg is a lot nicer this time of year and also there is a lull in the tournament scene during the summer, so the Iron moot is a nice kick off for the autumn season.
Venue
We will have a new venue for the Iron Moot 2015. The event will be located at the Apple conference hotel in eastern central Gothenburg. The reason for the change is that we have outgrown the current venue in respects to what we want to achieve with the event (food included in the ticket price and so on) and, since it is a conference hotel, we will be able to make great deals on hotel rooms for the attendees. More information on hotel rooms, pricing and how to book will follow shortly.
In respect to square meters for the gaming it will stay approximately the same but the events will be held in three different rooms and thus the sound level might not be as high as previous years.
Food and Beverages
As is tradition lunch for every day will be included in the ticket price. If you stay at the hotel, breakfast and a dinner buffet will also be included, and you also have free coffee during your stay.
Since the event is held at the Apple Hotel we will have access to the hotel bar and might even have a personal bar at the main gaming area. The hotel has a small arrangement of snacks and sodas similar to the kiosk we’ve had previous years.
For those not staying at the hotel wanting dinner there is a MAX Hamburger 50m from the Hotel and the tram and train stations is 150m in either direction with just a couple of stops to central station or other areas where there is restaurants. There is also a big ICA (groceries) store nearby.
That’s it for now. In the next update we will give you information on tickets, pricing, booking of rooms, events and other things. Stay tuned and don’t forget, if you are an organizer and want your event to be a qualifier for the Iron Moot 2015, last day to apply is 16th of January.
