Reach the venue by taxi
To ensure a more environmentally responsible event, the CDDF will only organise shared shuttle taxis from Schiphol airport to the Annual Conference venue (no individual taxis). If you selected one of the dates for taxi booking via the registration form, the CDDF will contact you closer to the conference date in order to collect your flight/train details. After receiving your travel information, the CDDF will assign you to one of the shuttles according to your arrival time. If you haven’t selected taxi booking in the registration process or wish to change the date you selected, please contact the CDDF office (giorgia@cddf.org) as soon as possible. The representatives from the pharmaceutical industry should organise their own transportation from the airport to the venue.
For the return, the CDDF has arranged a bus transport for all our meeting participants from the venue to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport on Wednesday 5 February 2025 at 13:10. To use the bus service, please make sure to come to the hotel lobby before the departure time.
