Further email from Al regarding the "packages" that they offer:
Hi Victoria
Thanks for your message and I can advise that we normally offer a small number of packages that effectively handle all logistics to and from International events assuming one departs from the UK. This holds true for our Hambach (smartville) events and, of course, smart times.
These packages generally include channel crossing, any en route accommodation, accommodation at the venue and any transfers etc. For smart times 2011 (Riccione, Italy) for example, we offered the channel crossing, accommodation in northern Germany, southern Germany, accommodation in the heart of the smart times activities in Riccione and the same all the way back to the UK. 2012 will be different of course given its proximity to the UK but again, we’ll ensure we have the ideal accommodation location chosen for the bulk of smart times activities – as you will already be in Europe, we may be able to include you simply based on accommodation in Belgium although all that planning is still underway.
Rest assured that whilst many people are already booking hotels in Antwerp, the official smart times event organisers are still planning what activities take place where and we are part of that organisational team – as such, we can be sure to provide the best information and logistics where possible.
It will be late January, early February before we can announce more and as with all our events, my organisation team make at least one entire ‘dry run’ of route and accommodation to make sure all is well before we publicise.
I’ll keep you updated
Best wishes meantime
Al
I'll continue to update you all as I receive updates....
