Valve World 2006 will be held in the Maastricht Exhibition and Conference Centre (MECC), The MECC boasts excellent facilities for visitors, exhibitors and conference delegates and is located only 20 minutes from the Maastricht-Aachen Airport. Maastricht is ideally situated on the southern border of Holland connecting with Germany and Belgium.

It is a city with a charming yet international character and with a definite Burgundian atmosphere. The city owes all this to its rich history and its position on the crossroads of different European cultures, languages and trade routes. All these factors make Maastricht an ideal meeting point for the “Euregion” and beyond. A comprehensive social programme will facilitate networking opportunities.
