Frequently Asked Questions

1. Airport Transfers

We have made arrangements to hire two mini-vans for the week of the conference and will be using them for airport transfers. If you have provided us with your flight information you will be met at the airport (after you leave the baggage claim area) by someone from one of our Madrid churches (either Angel, Victor, or Josh). They will be holding a sign with the Church Leaders Conference 2011 logo on it.

5. Internet at the Hotel

The hotel has free WiFi available on the ground floor and several of the lower floors. Upper floors have Internet available, but only through a wired Ethernet connection.

Madrid is in the Central European time zone, which is six hours ahead of the Eastern time zone in the United States.

For those coming to the conference from the United States it is important to note that Europe uses a 220 volt electrical system. Most of your small appliances and electronics will NOT work without a transformer and/or a prong adapter. Please check to see that any electronic device that you bring is rated for 110-220 volts. We will have a few prong adapters available at the conference in case you need one, at a cost of 2 euros each. We will NOT have transformers available.

According to the 10-day forecast for Fuenlabrada, Spain the weather should be quite pleasant during the conference. Each day will be partly cloudy. Nighttime lows will be about 6°C (42°F) and daytime highs will range from 14°C to 18°C (58°F to 64°F).
