 Gerhard Braeu, EuroGeo3 Chairman explaining that some sessions had been moved. Two weeks prior to the event, the Fire Marshall denied previously granted permission for the event to take place at a certain area on the campus of the Technische Universitat Munchen. The Organizing Committee quickly took action and rented a tent on the campus plaza to house part of the Exhibition. The remaining booths were divided between the registration area and the foyer of the Audimax.
