ere's a sneak preview of the ILDA 2000 conference site. Click on any of the photos for a full-sized view.

SI-Centrum complex

The SI-Centrum ("Center") complex features hotels, themed restaurants, hotels, movies, theatre and shopping. It can best be described as "Disney meets Broadway with a German accent."

One of the two hotel towers at the SI-Centrum. A horizontal and vertical photo were joined to make this panorama, explaining the large gray gap at lower left.
        There are two hotels, the Copthorne SI Classic (a tall squareish building not shown here) and the Copthorne SI Standard (the tall oblong set of buildings shown above). When you go to check in, be sure you are at the correct hotel -- Classic or Standard. Otherwise, it will take some walking to get from one to the other!

SI-Centrum theatre complex. Click for full-sized view.

A dusk view of the theatre complex across the street from the hotels. On the top of the building at left can be seen two signs with white and red neon. These are for "Disney's Die Schöne und Das Biest", a German production of "Beauty and the Beast".
        The "MaxX Filmpalast" building houses six movie theatres, all of which are showing American films like "X-Men" dubbed into German. Although the name implies IMAX, there is no IMAX movie theater at the SI-Centrum.
        The final theatre, currently showing the play "Tanz Der Vampire" ("Dance of the Vampire") is located on the hotel side, near the Hotel SI Copthorne Classic.

Pangolin Meeting, October 5

Pangolin Meeting room. Click for full-sized view.

The Pangolin Meeting will take place here in the Brighton conference room (Konferenzräume). It is very easy to find. Here are directions:
        One of the main restaurants in the SI-Centrum is Time Square. (It is not Times Square but Time singular. This is because there is a pendulum-type wall clock which dominates this open-air atrium-style restaurant.) The Time Square restaurant is well-marked, at the Hotel Copthorne SI Classic end of the Colonnaden shopping walk. Next to Time Square is a curving staircase and a bank of hotel elevators. Either walk up the stairs or take the elevators to the next level up. From the stairs, turn left; from the elevators, turn right. You will see the Berliner room almost immediately.
        In the photo panorama above, the windows on the right look out over the Time Square restaurant. Through the windows on the left, you can see the "Beauty and the Beast" logos on the theatre across the street.

ILDA Trade Show, October 6

ILDA Trade Show entrance. Click for full-sized view.

The ILDA Trade Show takes place in the Berlin Konferenzräume. Shown above is the entrance, in the UG underground shopping plaza which goes between the hotel-Colonnaden area, to the Broadway and movie theaters.

Pangolin trade show booth location. Click for full-sized view.
The photo above shows Harald Bohlinger and Lutz Bartl of HB Laserkomponenten standing with a hotel representative in the area that will be the Pangolin booth.

DaimlerChrysler world headquarters

DaimlerChrysler world headquarters. Click for full-sized view.

The world headquarters of DaimlerChrysler is almost directly across the street from the SI-Centrum. Note the large rotating Mercedes-Benz logo. It is illuminated at night; perhaps the ultimate status symbol.
        There is a Mercedes-Benz shop in the UG underground shopping plaza, so you can get your fix of three-pointed-star themed merchandise.
