Bus shuttle
Just as in previous years, Breakpoint 2008 is featuring a free bus service connecting the party location with the inner city (hotels, train station etc). The Busses will be going non-stop from 09:00 in the morning till 04:00 in the night.

Airport bus shuttle & Hotel reservation
The Airport bus shuttle registration is about to close. In case you are arriving at Frankfurt-Main (FRA) or Hahn (HHN) airport and haven't registered for the shuttle busses, please do so right now. Registration will close on Monday 15:00.
All the hotel rooms are allocated now, and the hotel registration has been closed (you can probably still get rooms at NH Hotel Bingen if you want; check the hotels page for details).
We will also close the Social Ticket registration on Tuesday, March 18th, at 18:00 MET. If you're late but still want to apply for a social ticket, please do so now.

Invitation Released
Hello there! We've released Digital Garden the invitation for Breakpoint 2008 demoparty. Windows/OSX version included! Download watch, and be there at BP!

Compo updates
Update to the compo rules: we've decided to cancel the theme graphics competition because of a notable decline in both quantity and quality of entries over the last few years - it just seems like there's no significant interest.
However, we did receive email from several people interested in participating in the executable 4k graphics competition, so we'll now officially have one! Don't make us regret this :)

Hotel reservation system & ticket price
We've just launched the Breakpoint 2008 hotel reservation system offering big discounts to sceners over regular hotel prices.
We've also just published ticket price information. Thanks to our sponsors, we managed to lower the entrance fees compared to previous years. Regular entrance fee this year is now 55 Euros. For those who can't afford the ticket price (sceners coming from low-income countries and the like), there will be social tickets again, priced at 25 Euros (the missing 30 Euros are paid for by other sceners, pre-registration required).

executable 4k graphics competition
We are still not sure whether there is significant interest in a executable 4k graphics competition - if you are interested in participating, please contact us on the Breakpoint hotline.

Airport shuttle reservation system
We've just launched the airport shuttle reservation system - so please register yourself if you need a lift from the airport to breakpoint or back. The hotel reservation system will be launched later this week.

Website launch
Welcome to the Breakpoint 2008 website, launched live at the TUM Party 2007 in Karlsruhe/Germany.
