The THEATER STAGE is the former IMAX cinema located at the first floor. The auditorium features a raked seating arrangement with 300 comfortable cinema-style chairs. The seats are positioned in ascending rows on a tiered platform, ensuring clear sightlines to the stage from every angle. The stage is at the same hight as the huge built-in cinema screen which is used for projections. Unfortunately, there is no step-free access to the main seating area for visitors with limited mobility. However, our team is happy to assist, and there is ample space in front of the first row to accommodate wheelchairs or provide alternative seating. Also the first floor is accessible with an elevator which can be operated upon request.
Björn Ommer is a Professor of Computer Vision and Machine Learning at LMU Munich and one of the leading researchers in generative AI, making him a key voice on the implications and future of artificial intelligence for this keynote. More details coming soon.
