ICTH 2018 will be held in the city of Leuven. Leuven is the capital of the
province of Flemish Brabant in Belgium. It is located about 25 kilometres
(16 miles) east of Brussels. It is the 10th largest municipality in Belgium
and the fourth in Flanders. Leuven is home to the Katholieke Universiteit
Leuven, the largest and oldest university of the Low Countries and the
oldest Catholic university still in existence. The related university
hospital of UZ Leuven, is one of the largest hospitals of Europe. The city
is also known for being the headquarters of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the
world's largest brewer and one of the five largest consumer-goods companies
in the world.

The conference venue will be at Park Inn (by Radisson) Hotel (Leuven),
which is located right in the heart of the Leuven city. The hotel is less
than 2 mins walk from the Leuven train station. All you have to do is to
get off the train (or the taxi or the bus) and take the elevator to the
bridge connecting the hotel with the rest of the city. Leuven city is
directly connected with the Brussels International airport with a 13 min
connection via train, 45 mins via bus or a 20 min by taxi (or Uber).
