Metro
There is the metro line no. 8 operating between the stations ‘Aeropuerto T4’ and  ‘Nuevos Ministerios’ (final stop) allowing you to get to the city centre in less than 45 minutes. The line no. 8 has two metro stations at the airport. Trains do operate from 6:05 in the morning until 1:30 at night.

Please be aware that between metro stations ‘Aeropuerto T4’ and ‘Aeropuerto T1 T2 T3’ there’s further metro station called ‘Barajas’. This metro station is located in the centre of the district of Barajas and doesn’t cover the airport.

The price for a one-way ticket is €6. In order to get to the metro station ‘Plaza España’ next to the venue you need to change once from line no. 8 to line no. 10 at ‘Nuevos Ministerios’. You may download the Madrid Metro Map here.

If you are using Marcom eSchedule PRO for the first time, we recommend to have a look at the Getting Started Information as well as Scheduling Meetings – Useful Hints & Tips or to view our video tutorials.

Scheduling meetings during the event

To make the most of your participation, you can still schedule meetings with other participants once the event has started. Last minute meetings can be scheduled up to one hour before the requested meeting time.

We recommend that you leave Marcom eSchedule PRO open throughout the event to keep an eye on any new meeting invitations that may come through. Please regularly refresh your eSchedule PRO page to make sure that it’s always up to date with the latest requests.

You can build your own personalised programme of optional seminars and provider presentations held on the first day of ICEF Spanish Education.

Programme details can be found under the seminar tab on your Marcom schedule.

You will be able to collect your badge and welcome pack on Wednesday, May 22 from 13:00 to 19:00 at the ICEF hospitality and registration desk located in the foyer area on the 3rd floor of the hotel next to the seminar rooms.

Participants arriving after this can register on Thursday, May 23 from 8:00 onwards in front of the ballroom ‘Madrid 3’ on the 4th floor.

As this is an invitation only event, anyone not wearing a badge may not be admitted into the event area. Please also understand that for the same reason we cannot allow non-registered family, friends or staff to enter the meeting hall.

To ensure that we are able to provide the best experience for all attendees, we would like to remind you that agents are hosted at ICEF events on the condition that they remain with the event for the duration of the programme (specifically, from day 1 registration to end of meetings on day 3). Please see our full event terms and conditions.
