Karlsruhe Meeting:May 30, 2008

Back to the roots of VirtualTourist

4th European VT-meeting
Karlsruhe / Germany

May 30th to June 1st, 2008




After 3 Euromeetings in Southern Europe it's finally time to go up north. And what city would be more appropriate to host a VT-meeting than the place where this great website has been invented: Karlsruhe / Germany.

Most of you will know VT as a firm located in Los Angeles. But there have been times when VT was still an idea of two students of the University of Karlsruhe. They developed the software and together with an American entrepreneur they transformed it into a successful website with members all over the globe. So let's have a trip down memory lane and come to the place where it all started.

Besides being the cradle of VT, Karlsruhe offers a lot of possibilities for a nice vacation. Even though the city isn't known as a major tourist spot, it has some interesting sites and is also a perfect base for trips to places like Heidelberg, the Black Forest, the Alsace region with the picturesque city of Strasbourg and so on.

The weekend for the meeting has been carefully chosen. In order to keep airfares and rooms affordable we had to consider school vacations, possible trade fairs and in particular the European Football Championship in Switzerland and Austria. As the meeting is now only one week before the opening match at Basle, football fans can combine these two events.

You will find info about accommodation, transportation, sightseeing tips and answers to frequently asked questions on the Euromeet2008-homepage. So have a look at this site every now and then.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in Karlsruhe
