Where - Location

We will celebrate the community in the heart of Berlin, right next to Alexanderplatz in the Weekend Club with an excellent view from the rooftop terrrace.

Official Website of the Club: Weekend Club

What - Agenda, April 6th 2022, 17:30 - 21:30

We want to celebrate the Atlassian community, so there will be lots of opportunity to meet you fellow community members, good food, tasty beverages and a live transmission from the opening keynote in Las Vegas.

Here’s the agenda in detail:

How to get there - Public Transport

The Weekend Club is right next to Alexanderplatz, now - as always - a nexus in Berlin’s public transport system.

• Trains

  • FEX, HBX, RB14, RE1, RE2, RE7

• S-Bahn

  • S3, S5, S7, S9

• Subway (U-Bahn)

  • U2, U5, U8

• Tram (several stops around Alexanderplatz)

  • M2, M4, M5, M6

• Bus

  • 100, 200, M2, N2, N5, N8, N40, N42, N60, N65

BVG has an excellent website (and an app) to find connections to and from Alexanderplatz: Fahrinfo Berlin - Public transportation schedules & disruptions | BVG

Alexanderplatz is also only three stops away from Hauptbahnhof and has direct connections to BER airport (about 45 minutes) as well.

When travelling to Berlin, especially from the East, keep in mind that there are currently literally tens of thousands of refugees arriving in the EU from Ukraine every day, many by train, so Berlin main station sees a lot more passengers these days.

COVID-19: Law of the Land

The situation is fluent, to say the least. Germany has very high infection rates, but in Germany Berlin is actually not very high on the list currently. The plan still is to remove most restrictions on March the 20th. That being said: Make sure you are vaccinated and/or tested and that your paperwork (digital or analog) is in order.

The following sites give an overview over the rules for entering Germany and in Berlin (and using public transport):

• SMS when entering Germany - Bundesgesundheitsministerium

• Coronavirus: Regeln in den Bundesländern | Bundesregierung

• Informationen zum Coronavirus (Covid-19) - Berlin.de

• English: Information on the Corona virus (COVID-19) - Berlin.de

• BVG (Berlin Public Transport): BVG Corona Infos

• Railway (including Berlin S-Bahn): Safe travel on Deutsche Bahn’s trains

Where to stay

There are no hotel packages for the viewing parties and we cannot recommend any, just a few tips, if you want to actually travel to Berlin to join us.

As already mentioned before, Alexanderplatz is a central nexus in Berlin’s public transport system and if you are looking for a hotel, it is only a few minutes from the S-Bahn and train stations along Berlin’s Stadtbahn from East to West (or the other way around), between S-Charlottenburg and Ostkreuz

There is an excellent register for hotels in Berlin’s city portal: Hotels in Berlin – Berlin.de that even let’s you look for hotels around Stadtbahn stations.

If you are planning to stay a couple of days, plenty to do: Find Events in Berlin – Berlin.de

Berlin is pretty busy on April 6th, three northern states will already have started their Easter school vacations and the majority of states follow the week after.
