Logistics
Getting to Cambridge, UK
Cambridge, UK is located approximately 45 minutes North of London by train, with easy access by bus or train to [St. Pancras International - Eurostar (45m rail), London Stansted Airport (40m rail), London Heathrow Airport (LHR - 2h rail), London Gatwick Airport (LGW - 2h rail), Manchester Airport (MIA - 4h rail), London Luton Airport (1h25m bus). European attendees may consider Eurostar or Stansted Airport preferred routes due to short transit time to Cambridge and lower prices.
Visitors from the US or elsewhere will likely need to travel into one of London's major international airports, such as Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW). With the exception of Luton Airport, rail offers a more convenient but more expensive route to Cambridge than bus, but will require using a combination of Heathrow Express/Tube and Rail (cost is approx. GBP 50-60). There are also several car service companies which arrange transfers from London Heathrow to Cambridge. The trip takes about 1.5-2 hours depending on the time of day.
- Online Airport Cars (GBP 94 one way)
- Airport Taxis UK (GBP 103 one way)
- Cambridge Connections ()
- Note that Ueber is also available and comes in at around GBP 110-150 one way

I want to attend
Request an Invitation
In previous years we have requested for attendees to fill out a form and request an invitation. This was overly complicated, so we will revert back to a simpler approach. Please add your name to the list below.
- If you are a maintainer or otherwise a core member of the community, just add yourself to the Confirmed Attendees section stating your name and
- If you are not a maintainer add yourself the Request invitation. If your email address is not known in the Xen Community, please also add the name of your employer and send your e-mail address to community dot manager at xenproject dot org using "Request for Hackathon 2015 Invite" as subject line. This is important, such that we can e-mail more information to you. We will monitor this page and confirm whether we have space for you to attend.
IMPORTANT: The cut-off date for registrations is April 12th.
Please read the text in the warning box below: it contains more detailed instructions.
