Your visit to AI Coding Days
This page explains AI Coding Days logistics: travel to RheinEnergieSTADION, doors, evening programme and common organisational questions. It is the planning page for the conference day on 19 November 2026 in Cologne.
The full talk programme with slots is not here; it lives on the timetable page. Tickets, dinner, party, recordings and the ExpertDAY application are booked in the ticket shop. This page has no search form and no filters.
The table of contents links intro, how-to steps, day flow, travel, maps, evening, ExpertDAY and FAQ. Each how-to step and each FAQ item has a stable heading with an anchor.
Read the timeline on this page first: doors, talks as a single track, end of the day programme, dinner and party. Concrete talk titles and slot times are on the timetable page. This planning page does not repeat the slot list.
The car, public transport and hotel cards describe free parking at the stadium, KVB access and Motel One Cologne-Neumarkt. There is no bus transfer from the stadium into the city centre. Everyone plans the evening route themselves.
The original graphics for room layout and parking are shown without cropping. They help on site and do not replace the talk programme.
Dinner at Wilma Wunder and the Club51 party are add-ons. This planning page uses 19:00 to 22:00 for dinner and 22:00 for party doors. Shop prices and add-on labels stay unchanged in the ticket shop. Standard tickets do not include the party; VIP includes dinner, party and recordings.
There is no separate ExpertDAY subsite. The first 300 ticket orders enter the draw. 100 drawn people may buy an ExpertDAY ticket for 199 euros plus VAT. Applications use a checkbox in the ticket shop. The only official pre-event on 18 November 2026 is ExpertDAY.
