When and where?
The first Geomob Cologne will take place at 18:00 on Thursday the 16th of April, 2026.
We will meet at the office of GRAS GmbH at Hohenzollernring 72 (OSM link), which is conveniently located literally above the Friesenplatz metro station (lines 3, 4, 5, 12, 15) and close to Hbf and Hansaring (for S-Bahn, RB, RE). Paid parking is available below the building.
When arriving, please ask at the reception for the elevator to be called to the 10th floor. (Yes, we do have a nice view.)
Signup required
If you want to attend, please sign up, as for both venue capacity as well as compliance reasons, we must prepare a guest list in advance.
