By train:

Coming from the Netherlands travelling by train is quite easy. Trains need about 6 hours from Amsterdam or Utrecht to Berlin Hauptbahnhof (main station) or Berlin Ostbahnhof (east station). For further information on connections and prices please check the website of Deutsche Bahn. (You can switch to Dutch or other languages on the upper right part of the site.)

The Hauptbahnhof (main station) might be confusing at first visit.  To take the S-Bahn you need to go to the uppermost floor. It's the platform marked with a white "S" on green ground. (should be platform 15).

There are several lines you can take: S5 (direction Strausberg or Hoppegarten) or the S75 (direction Ahrensfelde or Wartenberg). They all depart from the same platform.

You continue until the stop "Warschauer Straße". Now it's only a few minutes walking - a map will be included in your mail. In total travel from the main station shouldn't take more than half an hour. 

By plane: 

Airport destinations would be Berlin-Tegel or Berlin-Schoenefeld. Both will work well to get to the conference. KLM flies from Amsterdam to Berlin-Tegel.

From Berlin-Tegel to the venue:

By public transport take the bus TXL (direction: S+U Alexanderplatz), get off at "Berlin Hauptbahnhof" (main station) and board the S-Bahn S3, S5 or S75 (direction eastwards) til the stop "Warschauer Strasse". Duration: ~40 min.

You can check the S-Bahn on the website of Berlin's public transport BVG - available in English. It's a 5-minute-walk from the stop to the hotel - map will be included in your mail.

Taxi transfer to the hotel would be around 40 Euro - depending on traffic. Cabs in Germany are cream-coloured, taking that into consideration it's safe to take any cab.

From Berlin-Schoenefeld to the venue:

Take the S-Bahn (tram) S9 (direction Pankow) to the stop "S Ostkreuz", change for the S 5 (direction Westkreuz) and get off at the stop "Warschauer Strasse". Duration: ~40 min.
