Let’s meet face to face!

About RIOT

RIOT is the friendly operating system for the Internet of Things. If you cannot run Linux on your device due to constrained hardware, use RIOT! RIOT explicitly implements the idea of an open Internet. It supports all relevant standards and is distributed under open source license. You find more details on www.riot-os.org

The RIOT community consists of companies, academias, and hobbyist, distributed all around the world. RIOT aims to implement all relevant open standards supporting an Internet of Things that is connected, secure, durable & privacy-friendly.

About the Summit

Over the last four years, RIOT has been emerged as one of the agile and state of the art operating system for the IoT. The previous Summits were a big success. It’s time to meet again face-to-face!

The RIOT Summit aims for bringing together RIOTers, beginners and experts, as well as people interested in the IoT in general and decision makers who plan to deploy RIOT in the future. The event combines plenary talks, hands-on tutorials, and  demos. The Summit will not only inform about latest developments, but will also help to gather feedback from the community to shape the RIOT future.

Travel Information

Venue

Science Park Congress Center
Science Park 125
1098 XG Amsterdam, Netherlands

Air Travel

Amsterdam is perfectly connected via Schiphol airport. From Schiphol you can reach the venue in approximately 40 minutes by public transport.

Train Travel

The Science Park Congress Center is a five minute walk away from NS station Amsterdam Science Park. This station is served four times an hour from the directions Amsterdam Centraal – Schiphol and Almere – Amersfoort.

Walk through the tunnel after leaving the platform for the science park (northeast exit), cross the street (Carolina MacGillavrylaan) at the crosswalk and walk past the brown building of Amsterdam University College. You will be able to see Cthe Science Park Congress Center’s main entrance on your left behind the parking lot.

Public Transport

The public transport includes train, metro, bus, and tram. Alternatively to a train ride, at Amsterdam Central Station, take tram 9 to Diemen. Get off at Kruislaan (situated at the Middenlaan – Kruislaan intersection). From here, you can walk to Amsterdam Science Park (15 min) or switch to bus 40. Alternatively, bus 40 serves Amsterdam Science Park four times an hour from stations Amsterdam Amstel and Amsterdam Muiderpoort. Get off at bus stop ‘Science Park’. During rush hour bus 240 can be used, too. For further information and to plan a journey have a look at 9292, a web site that overviews all public transport options in Amsterdam.

Note that you cannot pay cash or by credit card in trains, trams, or buses. The easiest and cheapest way to pay for public transportation in the Netherlands is the so-called OV Chipcard. It is for sale in all train stations and you have to charge it on one of the charging stations before using it on trains, trams, or buses. If you only travel from the airport to the conference venue and back, it is easiest to buy a one-way “disposable OV Chipcard”. If you plan to use public transportation more frequently during your stay, or if you are travelling more often to the Netherlands, we recommend to buy a “anonymous OV Chipcard”. For more details, also on refund of credit, see The OV Chipcard recommendations for tourists.

Nearby Accommodations

Near Muiderport

Muiderpoort is located in Amsterdam Oost, which is closer to the conference venue.
