2. To Brno by airplane via Vienna
From Vienna airport there is also the "STUDENT AGENCY" (SA) bus. However, it is not possible to book a ticket in advance via the internet without unless you speak Czech. But you can try to buy a ticket directly on the bus from a driver. The timetable is available at: http://www.studentagency.cz/mainpage.php?switch=101537

From Vienna airport you can also take the centre city train CAT, departing every half-hour, and then take a train to Brno. It is "Pendolino" train departing from "Südbahnhof" Station. The timetable is available at: http://www.scpendolino.cz/en/kdy-kde-jede/jizdni-rad-SC-jih-2008/:/page.xhtml

When in Brno:

1. The SA or Euroline buses will take you to the bus station opposite the Grand Hotel which is very close (250 meters) from the main railway station "Hlavní nádraží". On the half way to the main railway station, just before the entrance to the subterraneous passage, there is the trolleybus stop of the link No. 31, which will take you to Slapanice, the site of the University Conference Centre.

2. Trains from Prague or Vienna stop at the main railway station "Hlavní nádraží". Pass the main entrance hall, turn to the right and cross the street. You will get to the trolleybus stop of the link No. 31, which will take you to Slapanice, the site of the University Conference Centre.

For the trolleybus No. 31 you will need tickets of 21 CZK, which you can buy in railway station building or in the machine just by the No. 31 stop. After getting on the bus, you will have to mark the ticket in the yellow ticket-machine.

In front of the main railway station building there is also a taxi rank. You can take a taxi to the University Conference Center in Šlapanice. It costs about 400-500 CZK (25-31 USD).

In case you will need to exchange money, after passing the main entrance hall of the railway station turn the left and cross the street. You will get to the "Masarykova ulice" (street) where there are many exchange places, open until 6 pm.

When in Šlapanice:

At the stop called "Kalvodova", follow the direction opposite to the trolleybus and you get to the first cross (it is very short - 5 meters). Turn to the left and walk until you see the restored building on the right side of the street (200 meters). This is The University Conference Center Šlapanice.
Here are some snapshots of the building: http://www.muni.cz/general/mu_quarters/addresses/25/gallery
