Attend the conference
Join us for the Matrix Conference from October 15 to 18, 2025. The four day conference will take place in Strasbourg, France. Talks will be streamed live and virtual attendees will be able to ask speakers questions.
Getting There
By Train
Strasbourg is a well connected city. The train station will lead you to the city centre, right next to the picturesque neighborhood of Petite France. The train station itself is connected to Tramway Line D or bus line 2 that lead to the venue.
By Plane
Strasbourg's Airport (SXB) is another option for attendees coming from farther. The TER train connects the Airport to Strasbourg's city center in about 30 min. A taxi ride will get you there in bout 20 min.
Public Transportation
Strasbourg has a dense public transportation network. From the central train station, Tramway Line D or bus line 2 lead to the venue. For non-french speakers, tramway might be an easier solution.
You can book a ticket for public transport using the CTS App. The app is available in English.
Health, Safety and Accessibility
Code of Conduct
The Code of Conduct of The Matrix.org Foundation applies during the event. We expect attendees, speakers, volunteers and staff to be excellent to each other.
Dietary Restrictions
All the food provided at the Matrix Conference will accommodate a wide range of dietary restrictions. All foods will be labelled at the event. If you have food allergies, please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can try to accomodate you.
Accessibility
The Matrix Conference will be wheelchair accessible. We are aiming to get live captioning in place, but it will mostly depend on the amount of support we get from sponsors. If you know organisations willing to help make the event more accessible, send them to our sponsors page!
Vaccinations & rapid tests are encouraged
We encourage the Matrix Conference attendees to stay up to date with the vaccinations that are available to them where they live. We also encourage attendees to use rapid tests (antigen tests) before they arrive and while they are at the conference. The Foundation hopes, but may not be able, to supply rapid tests on-site.
Easy refunds
We expect people to stay home if they may be contagious. If you are feeling sick or exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, or test positive for COVID-19, prior to the start of the conference, or on any day of the conference, please contact us at [email protected]. We will exchange your ticket type for an online ticket or grant you a refund.
On-site attendees will be able to watch talks online while they recover, wait for the results of a COVID test or sort out any kind of unexpected allergy or “weird cold.”
