Iolanda, for those of us traveling from outside of Europe, we will normally
have to provide a proper destination address as part of our customs and
immigration process. "Esino Lario" won't normally be enough; in fact, it's
my experience that at least half the time when traveling to Europe, I
have had to show my reservation confirmation. We also need our destination
address to include it in our luggage so that if it is misdirected, there is
still some chance that it might find us before the conference is over.
Having had my luggage go missing on more than one transatlantic flight -
knowing that my destination address is well identified in association with
my luggage is a Big Deal. Again, just "Esino Lario" isn't going to cut
it. An actual address is required.

dear all
Everyone – who has got a ticket with accommodation in Esino Lario and
received a confirmation from eventbrite – has accommodation in Esino Lario.
Marta and Patrizia have assigned all the beds.
You will be given your address and keys in Piazza Italia in Esino Lario at
your arrival; we expect you to arrive the 21st or the 23rd according to to
the 5 or 3 days ticket you got.
Marta will send you today some further information about your travel and
arrival.
Pleonastic, but
If you did not buy a ticket with accommodation in Esino Lario, you don’t
have accommodation in Esino Lario.
If you did not buy a ticket for your direct transport from and to the
airport, you do not have direct transport from and to the airport.
Eventually you can get worried if you don’t have an eventbrite
confirmation.
I personally consider wikipedians and wikimedians the most intelligent
people I can spend time with. We certainly pretend you to get to Esino
Lario, to find the right bus, to take the train in the right direction
(please note that Tirano is not Torino), to sign up for events and to read
(and cite) all necessary sources. Certainly… it’s the beginning of a great
adventure.

Could we trouble the organisers at least for a date by which we'll have
some information on where we're staying?
Thanks,

A week has passed since the above reply; I'm concerned that I still
have no information about where I shall be staying, nor indeed whether
I have somewhere to stay. Does anyone else?

Hi all,
This is not official but practical advice for attendees — if your luggage
is lost/delayed/separated from you, it will likely never make it to you in
Esino Lario during the conference. It is too far, and off the main
transportation routes for any airline to deliver it to you. They’ll
probably hold it at the main airport for when you return.
Therefore, please pack and keep with you as carry on luggage a bare minimum
of clothes/toiletries/medication you need for the entire conference in case
the worst happens.
Safe travels,
-Andrew
