Accommodation
We do not have specific indication to provide. Firenze is a very touristic city and offer a huge number of hotel rooms in a wide range of rates. Do not wait to book your room. In particular, a fashion event will happen the same week of the conference which probably put a pressure on room availability and prices.
The public transport network is made of two tramway lines and a good number of bus lines. It is quite reliable and a single-trip costs 1.70 euros, no matter the distance. Tickets can be bought in vending machines installed at tramway stations or at retailers (e.g., in "tabaccheria"). Buying a paper ticket inside the tramway is not possible, but it is possible in the bus at an increased price. You can also pay directly with your bank card inside a bus or tram but you will not get receipts (the only proof will be on your bank summary). Paper tickets must be validated inside the bus/tram.
Below you find the map of the tramway lines, both stop at "Alemanni Stazione" and "Unità", the closest tram stops to the venue. If there is the chance, we recommend the tramway compared to buses. In fact, within an area of 20 min (by foot) from the center, the time it takes with the bus is the same time you take by walking, because of the traffic (for which buses might suffer delays compared to trams which have preferential lanes).
