Anyone decided where they're staying in Berlin? I see most of the recommended hotels are a good 20 minute drive from the venue itself.
Not yet but its very Exciting isn't it New City . New Venue and Same fun ..Is the Official list up yet ?
Yep, here's the list: http://www.igbaffiliatehotels.com/ci...taf=24/10/2015
We booked in the main hotel. OK it's not that close but there will be a shuttle to and from the conference and there's always taxi's to jump in/share.
Plus there's generally a good level of networking to be done in the main hotels on an evening, it all helps.
See You There I Guess Martyn
Normally I always choose the official hotel if there is still room. But now I'm not sure.
Do we already know where the parties are?
I need a hotel with the unisex spa from the movie Unfinished Business.
20 min drive is not really a long one in Berlin ... around 13-15€ by a Berlin Taxi CompanyQuote:

Thanks for the replies guys, some useful stuff here :)
Main hotel. I hate riding the cab home drunk alone.
Last time you didn't even know who we were in the cab with you. LOLQuote:

Here’s how much coffee, chocolate, weed and alcohol it takes to kill youhttps://www.gpwa.org/forum/images/im...8&h=498&crop=1
If you’re a hypochondriac or terrified of random things killing you, maybe don’t read this.
But if you’re just interested in the EXACT number of cups of coffee that will cause death – just to avoid accidentally killing yourself, rather than for any extremely drawn out murder plans – you’re in the right place.
AsapSCIENCE are back with a handy video showing you how much of different substances can cause death, from coffee to lack of sleep.
Turns out, it’s pretty difficult to die from smoking weed or eating chocolate, which is good news. But did you know that cherries can kill you? And being tall?
Here’s what else you need to know.
Coffee: 70 cups
https://www.gpwa.org/forum/images/im...0&h=333&crop=1(Picture: Youtube/AsapSCIENCE) Too much caffeine can trigger heart palpitations and cardiac arrest. Thankfully, you’d have to be drinking around 3 cups every hour of the day and night to reach the lethal limit.
So you’re probably safe on this one.
Alcohol: 13 shots
https://www.gpwa.org/forum/images/im...0&h=326&crop=1(Picture: Youtube/AsapSCIENCE) Okay, this one’s a little scary, because we’re pretty sure all those ‘tower challenges’ at uni could have resulted in our demise.
Doing 13 shots in a row can shut down parts of the brain, leading to death.
Water: 6 litres
https://www.gpwa.org/forum/images/im...0&h=333&crop=1(Picture: Youtube/AsapSCIENCE) Even water can be bad for you. Drink three times the daily recommended amount and your brain cells will start to swell, leading to comas and seizures.
Marijuana: 22kg eaten, 680kg smoked
https://www.gpwa.org/forum/images/im...0&h=342&crop=1(Picture: Youtube/AsapSCIENCE) Yep, weed can be dangerous. And lethal, if you eat 22kg or smoke 680 kg. Stay safe, kids.
Lack of sleep: 11 days
https://www.gpwa.org/forum/images/im...0&h=334&crop=1(Picture: Youtube/AsapSCIENCE) In case you need a reminder that sleep is really, really important. If you’re a rat (congrats on using a computer), you can make it two weeks sleep free.
The longest a human has gone without sleep is 11 days. He was fine after he caught up on the z’s, but we still wouldn’t recommend it.
Being underwater: 6 minutes
https://www.gpwa.org/forum/images/im...0&h=309&crop=1(Picture: Youtube/AsapSCIENCE) Don’t try sticking your head underwater or not breathing. It’s not a good idea.
Chocolate: 85 full size bars
https://www.gpwa.org/forum/images/im...0&h=333&crop=1(Picture: Youtube/AsapSCIENCE) Unless your chocolate consuming skills are really, really impressive, you’re probably fine.
Just stop short of 85 bars in one sitting. Easy.
Being tall
https://www.gpwa.org/forum/images/im...0&h=328&crop=1(Picture: Youtube/AsapSCIENCE) Oh hello, new life fear.
Apparently, being tall is slowly killing you, putting stress on your circulatory system.
Every inch about 5ft takes 1.3 years off your life. Sorry, models.
Cherries: ONE OR TWO (if you bite into the pit)
https://www.gpwa.org/forum/images/im...0&h=333&crop=1(Picture: Youtube/AsapSCIENCE) Did you know that biting into a cherry pit can deliver a lethal dose of cyanide? Is this common knowledge?
This needs to be taught in schools. There should be warning labels on all boxes of cherries. Terrifying.
Now be free, to live a life free of coffee-related concerns and complete with a new phobia of cherries.

It might mention it in that article, but the main reason people die from drinking too much water is because they are not replacing the minerals, electrolytes etc that the body is flushing out when they urinate (salt being the most common one). If you go from drinking barely anything to drinking 6L straight away, you will probably go to hospital. I don't think most people think about what they are flushing out and not replacing when they drink that much water. It's similar when you drink alcohol. "Breaking the seal" is your kidneys and liver flushing all the alcohol out, but also getting rid of salt and other stuff that your body needs, which is why you get a hangover.
The best recommendation for not getting one is to have something with lots of salt before going to bed, some kind of sports drink (full of electrolytes), a can of coke (potassium and sodium) and ibuprofen.
But that's not as bad as not knowing who's in the cab with you.... I mean the guilt I felt aftewards :(Quote:
