Do I need to bring cash?
Cash is King! Some places in Germany don’t accept card payment so it is highly recommended to always have a small amount of cash with you.
Also you might need cash to settle conference fee discrepancies (for example if we didn’t receive the full sum because of bank charges, or you forgot to pay the annual fee, etc.) and to buy raffle tickets.
At the conference bar, you are also able to pay with card.
The nearest ATM to the conference site is in the town centre of Cloppenburg.
