About
WineConf is the Wine Project's annual conference, where members of the Wine community, the broader Free Software community and interested users meet up over food and beverages. We traditionally also have a number of talks by attendees, as well as some formal and informal discussions about anything vaguely Wine related. This year, we will also be celebrating the Wine Project's 25th anniversary.

Travel
By Plane:
The airport with the best connection to The Hague is Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS). A possible alternative is Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM). There's an approximately 30 minute direct train connection from "Schiphol Airport" to "Den Haag Centraal" (The Hague Central Station) for €8,50. It's about a 10 minute (approximately 1 km) walk from the train station to the hotel, but a taxicab or public transport are options as well.
By Train:
For attendees travelling from France, Belgium or Germany, the high-speed Thalys may be an option. Den Haag Centraal station is 1km away from the hotel and so should be in walking distance.
By Road:
The Hague is well connected by road, but please be aware that paid parking is in effect in practically the entire city centre.
Within The Hague:
The Hague has a decent public transport system, as well as plenty of taxicab providers.
Currency
Like large parts of Europe, the currency in use in The Netherlands is the Euro. There are ATMs close to the venue, and many stores accept common debit and/or credit cards.
Climate
The Hague has a temperate oceanic climate. Temperatures are usually fairly comfortable in late June, but it can be windy. Evenings in June can be slightly chilly.
Power
The most common (domestic) power socket in the Netherlands is the CEE 7/3 socket. CEE 7/1 is occasionally also still used. Mains operate at 230 V and 50 Hz.
Travel sponsorship
The Wine Development Fund will sponsor WineConf attendance for contributors to Wine that would not otherwise be able to attend. Contact Jeremy White to request a sponsorship. If instead you'd like to make a donation to the Wine Development Fund, we'll gladly accept those as well.
Tourism
The Hague has a decent number of opportunities for tourism; https://denhaag.com/en has some pointers.
Programme
Friday June 29
15:00 – 16:30 | Tour 1 |
16:45 – 18:15 | Tour 2 |
18:30 | Dinner |
Aric Stewart has volunteered to be responsible for recruiting conference speakers and scheduling talks this year. If you have a presentation you would like to give at this years' WineConf, please propose the talk either on the wineconf@winehq.org mailing list or by contacting Aric directly.
General Guidelines
- Please provide an indication of the length of your talk. We're aiming for approximately 40 minute slots, with 15–20 minutes for the talks themselves, and an approximately equal amount of time for questions and discussion afterwards. Shorter talks are generally not an issue; longer talks may be possible depending on the contents of the talk and the rest of the schedule.
- Topics should obviously be of interest to the other attendees, i.e., the broader Wine community, but note that that doesn't imply the talk has to be about Wine itself.
- If you have a preferred time and date for your talk please indicate that to Aric when submitting your talk. We will try to make it work as best we can.

WineConf 2019
We traditionally decide where next years' conference will take place during WineConf. If you'd like to host WineConf 2019, but have any questions, please send an e-mail to hverbeet@codeweavers.com. Since we'd like to make WineConf interesting to a broader base of developers and users, we would be especially grateful if WineConf 2019 could be hosted outside the traditional locations of western Europe and the United States.
