What You'll Experience

Arrive in Munich and settle into hotel

6:00 PM - Welcome Meet Up
We kick the event off with a relaxed evening connecting and getting to know each other at Andechs beer garden.

Travel & Accommodations

We recommend flying into Munich International Airport (MUC), which is well connected internationally through Lufthansa and a number of major airlines, including American Airlines, United, and Delta and their partner networks.

From the airport, you can easily travel by train into central Munich and then connect directly to Kaufering, where Wasserle is located. The journey is straightforward and well connected by Germany’s rail system.

As we get closer to the event, we will provide additional travel details, including recommended train connections, approximate pricing, and guidance based on attendees’ travel plans.

Hotel Rid — Kaufering, Germany

We recommend staying at Hotel Rid, which is conveniently located within walking distance of both the train station and the Wasserle office. Kaufering also offers a direct train connection to Munich, making it easy to visit the city on your own if desired.

As the event takes place at the tailend of Oktoberfest (Wiesn) season, hotel prices in Munich may still be high. For that reason, we suggest staying locally and using the train for any trips into Munich.

Reserve your room at Hotel Rid 
This is just a form to reserve your hotel space and preferences. You'll pay for your room onsite when you arrive for the event.
