religion at the University of Richmond where he holds the James A.

Mormon', 'People of Paradox' and is currently releasing 'His When

Details for Travel:

In response to a number of emails asking for help in order that you
can begin making your travel arrangements, I have included local
directions for travel.

Coming from abroad most flights will be to Amsterdam Airport. This
also has the advantage of having its own train station. The train
journey from Amsterdam airport to Tilburg West is 1 ½ hours, with only
one change at Den Bosch. This is probably the easiest and most
comfortable. Eindhoven is closer to Tilburg, but does not have a train
station, and operates only for budgets flights; The bus journey is 30
minutes and the train is 37 minutes. Düsseldorf Airport is often
cheaper as an airport, but has a train journey of 2 ½ hours to
Utrecht, and then a further 1 ¼ hours to Tilburg West.

All of these details will be on the EMSA website shortly, the
accommodation details are to follow.
