Dear Messengerdom,

A few words about the Corona safety measures that we will take to ensure a safe and enjoyable (and might it be said) old skool championship. For the amount of more than 300 registered participants so far, our event needs to have a covid certificate. This comes with a few inconveniences and quite a lot of eventual freedom.

We are obliged to have a covid certificate ( QR Code) for each participant before joining the event and we have a few solutions that we can offer to obtain it:

You can simply roll up with one, this lets you register right away and join the fun immediately.

If you don’t have one, there will be a free testing facility on-site for a few hours on all four days of the event. We will let you know the exact offered testing times in the coming week.

In case you miss that particular window, we are working in collaboration with Labor Rothen where you can have yourself tested free of charge as participant of the ECMC. You can check the opening times at https://labor-rothen.ch.

The covid certificate is valid for 48 hours, so if you’re spending the full four days with us, this procedure has to be done twice.

We will have an info-point open at designated meeting points during the whole event to help with the procedure.

Now here comes the old skool part: with these precautions we can finally succumb to the warm embrace that is the international messenger community!

INFO HOUSING
As promised, we will provide you with collective Housing.
However, you know how those function, and those of you looking to have full nights of sleep and not suffer from the smell of your neighbour's socks or jersey, can enjoy a more comfortable option at a promotional price at the SILO HOSTEL, conveniently located minutes from the Rhine and the City Center. Here are the conditions:
*40 CHF per night/person in a 4-person dormitory (including coffee, croissant, a museum pass and a tram ticket)
*120 CHF per night for a double room with private bathroom (+coffee, croissant, museum pass and tram ticket)
*Children at no extra costs.
If you are interested, please write to [email protected], we will give you the discount code to enjoy the offer.
Limited spots! Get them while they last!
Looking forward to having you all here ❤

🎶 Call for Musicians🎶
