CMS2011 will take place in Ghent, Belgium. Ghent is the fourth largest city of Belgium. It is a bustling place with modern amenities, a port and a university, while it has managed to preserve its medieval features and wealth. Life of its inhabitants, students and visitors is set against this gorgeous historical backdrop. Dozens of pavement cafes and restaurants invite to discover Ghent's specialities. As the sun fades over the waterways and buildings are illuminated, students prepare for a night on the town. By day and by night, the city is alive and bids you welcome. For instructions how to get to the conference venue please visit the travel information section on the CMS web page.

The venue of the conference is the Marriott hotel in Ghent. The hotel was at the Number One Marriott Hotel in Guest Satisfaction last year. It is centrally located in Ghent. The Marriott hotel in Ghent is overlooking the Korenlei on the banks of the river Lys canal and brings new design to historic old buildings. The glass dome with the vast bar-lounge Poppi serves as a cosy meeting place, a place of relaxation for all those who want to stop a moment in the heart of the city. Korenhuis, the restaurant evokes the atmosphere of a classic merchants house, modernized with the taste of today's global culture, an attractive culinary experience at any time of the day. Onsite parking is also available. The Ghent Marriott hotel blends historic treasures with the latest fashions and trends, just like the city.
