Innovations

WHD 2011 will be full of innovations! Get a short overview of the most important ones here. They will be further explained on the following pages.

New event location

WHD 2011 will take place at Europa-Park, the largest seasonal theme park worldwide situated in the border triangle of France, Germany and Switzerland. It can be easily reached from all over Europe and provides all necessary facilities for a successful conference and trade fair.

Additional event day

For the first time WHD will cover four days. This extension turned out to be necessary as the number of partner companies is ever growing and also the number of expert speakers that are interested in delivering a talk. Now the program will be less compact and the attendees can visit more sessions.

Larger booth spaces

The new event location offers a spacious place for the hosting.FAIR trade fair. Therefore, the booth spaces included in the partner packages could be increased in size!

eCommerce area

hosting.FAIR will have a dedicated eCommerce area where companies with focus on e-payment, eCommerce software etc. present their solutions.

WorldHostingAward

Great achievements in the hosting sector will be awarded by a jury consisting of leading European IT magazines and industry experts.

WHD BierFest

More hotel rooms

Our new location offers plenty of hotel rooms to accommodate many WHD guests. The hotels of Europa-Park stand out due to their Roman, Medieval or Spanish theming.

Bus shuttle

In order to allow for a convenient journey for WHD attendees, there will be free bus shuttles available from Offenburg station to Europa-Park. The shuttles will leave every 30 minutes, so that passengers won't have long waiting times.
