First aid
A Red Cross first aid team is present during the entire weekend. Get there using the on-campus interactive map or follow the signs in the K building.
Physical security
The goal of FOSDEM is to organise an event where everyone can feel safe and comfortable. For that purpose, we have invested in having multiple professional security guards during the weekend.
If you see a (potential) problem, please approach one of them or a staff member who can be recognised by his/her bright yellow t-shirt with "Staff" on the back.
Some guidelines:
- If you come by car, don't leave any valuables in it.
- Do not enter a room if the sign says it is full: We need to consider fire safety.
- Follow instructions given by the security guards or by a staff member: They are meant for your safety and that of others.
