Local Information


Conference Venue

GandALF 2026 will take place at Hotel Comwell Hvide Hus Aalborg, conveniently located in the heart of Aalborg, next to the city’s central park, Kildeparken. The venue is within easy walking distance (approximately 9 minutes) of Aalborg Station, the city’s main railway and bus station, via a pleasant route through the park.

The conference sessions will be held in Room M2, located on the ground floor of the hotel. The room is equipped with a projector, projection screen, and a small whiteboard.

The projector supports a standard HDMI connection. A selection of adapters for common video connectors will be available in the conference room; however, we recommend that presenters bring any adapters they may require for their own devices.
