The following a list of suggestions of weeks for the Interop. Typically an InterOp will take place in spring or in fall. The finally selected Week has to be marked by a green background.

We should aim for an earlier interop to be as far away from drupa as is reasonable.

Hotel Recommendations

Regarding COVID-19

Agfa is following up closely on the situation, but currently there are no known cases in Antwerp region or at this Agfa site.

Follow the usual precautions (like not traveling when you were in a problem region like China, Iran, North Italy during the last 2 weeks, or feeling ill, or been in contact with infected people) . Agfa will provide for alcohol gel in the meeting rooms.

We understand of course that you or your company may have concerns regarding traveling.

So if you decide to cancel for the meetings, please mail Koen and remove yourself from both lists so that others know too. Then we can adjust the catering and hopefully meet you again at the next interop!

And contact the hotel, they are flexible.

It can be difficult to buy tickets on the tram.

Cheapest and easiest is to buy a carnet of 10 ticket for 16 euro at a vending machine (station or metro station) or small shops. Check in advance. Or internet if you have a wallet.

It is also possible to buy a ticket with your phone if your provider allows (but more expensive).

Weather

Typically around 10 degrees with showers.
