The bazaar will provide an informal setting for conversations with CLARIN people, and space to show your work to colleagues on their laptop computer, and distribute handouts and leaflets.
It is no longer possible to sign up for a 'stall'. If you are curious, take a look at who will take part in the Bazaar this year.

What to do with the paprika you brought home from Budapest?
Did you notice that you received a local present? Each conference bag contains two small bags of paprika. Paprika is very popular in the Hungarian cuisine. In fact, the word paprika is Hungarian. It derived from the Serbo-Croatian word 'pàpar', meaning 'pepper'. No idea how to use it? Try this recipe for stew/gulyás/goulash from a well-known Hungarian food blogger and former diplomat.
How to get there

BY AIR
Hungary has one airport, Ferihegy, located right at the city border.
Transport from the Ferihegy Airport to Danubius Hotel Flamenco is possible in several ways.
By taxi
Főtaxi is the official transport partner of the airport. Reservations can be made in person at the Főtaxi booths located at the exits (outside the building) at Terminals 2A and 2B. Taxis are parking continuously waiting for passengers. (Please, be sure to use these official booths but by all means avoid taxis bearing no company name. These free-lancers, though they are licenced and they look just like the others, are notorious for ripping off foreign customers.)
There is a fixed taxi tarrif in Hungary, so a ride to the hotel should typically cost around 7500-8500 HUF (25-28 EUR) depending on traffic conditions.
All cars are equipped with a POS terminal, therefore credit cards are also accepted.
More information here.
By minibus/airport shuttle
Airport shuttle service is also available from Ferihegy. You can book the minibus online.
By public transport
It takes about 1 hour to get from the airport to the hotel. From 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., bus number 200E commutes between Terminal 2 and the Kőbánya-Kispest metro terminal (metro line M3). From the Kőbánya-Kispest metro terminal take metro M3, and at Kálvin tér change to metro line M4 (direction: Kelenföld vasútállomás) and get off at Móricz Zsigmond körtér.
Here you can walk (around 800 meters) along Villányi út, and turn left after the park, to Tas Vezér utca, as you can see in the map here.
At Móricz Zsigmond körtér (after getting off metro line M4) you can also take the tram 61 (direction: Budagyöngye), for 2 stops, and get off at Tas Vezér utca. From there you will see the signs of the hotel. You can find the map here.
You can also plan your route online, just type Airport for departure and Danubius Hotel Flamenco for arrival.
