I'm off to Germany tomorrow, to attend the Multi.Player 2 conference in Münster. I enjoyed the first Multi.Player conference in 2011 (which was in Hohenheim, near Stuttgart) so I'm looking forward to it. I'm giving the closing address this time, which means I have to pay attention to the sessions and then summarise what I thought of them as a whole. Hopefully, most people will have gone home by that time so I won't bore too many of them.
Getting to Münster is much easier than I thought it would be. The nearest airport is Münster/Osnabrück, but it's not a very big one; I was expecting to have to fly to Dortmund or even Cologne.
