IVO 2009 Programm - Internationaler Verband der Orthopädie ...

Welcome to The Hague
and the World Forum
The Hague increasingly presents itself as the City of Peace and Justice, given that it is hosts
the headquarters of such prestigious bodies as the UN International Court of Justice and
Europol. However, The Hague has so much more to offer. It is also the seat of government
of the Netherlands. This unique city nestling behind the sand dunes, offers stunning
beaches at Scheveningen and Kijkduin, an historic city centre, almost limitless shopping
facilities, countless hotels and (trendy) restaurants and a vast range of tourist attractions.
The Hague is centrally located, both within
the Netherlands and Europe, and offers easy
accessibility by private and public transport.
Cities such as Amsterdam (Schiphol Airport)
and Rotterdam are within easy reach, while
the series of windmills at Kinderdijk and the
historic cities of Delft and Leiden are literally
just around the corner.
Amsterdam 40 minutes
Amsterdam Airport 30 minutes
Rotterdam Airport 15 minutes
The World Forum is located in The Hague’s international zone. This combination of a
multifunctional auditorium/theatre and diverse break-out areas renders the World Forum
the ideal venue for the IVO 2009 Conference and Exhibition.
Parking facilities
The World Forum has ample on-site parking
capacity. Exit passes are available from the
ticket machines in the central entrance lobby
and at the entrance to the car park.
Public transport
The World Forum is just a short distance from
various airports, stations and motorways.
Participants will nevertheless benefit greatly
from the convenience a public transport pass
offers. The pass is valid for use on bus and
tram services in The Hague, Scheveningen
and Rijswijk. The charge applicable for a
3-day public transport pass is approx. €13.
