Thanks.  After a quick look, I note that the section on mobile phone
SIMs is kind of misleading.  For short term visitors the only
reasonable ones are Lyca Mobile Lebara mobile (which is missing from
the list.)  Both have a DKK99 plan with vast amounts of talk and data,
including calls to all of the EU and North America.  They have web
sites where you can ask them to send a chip to your hotel, or you
should be able to buy either at the airport 7-11.

The section on getting from the airport to the hotel is confusing; it
says the shuttle bus is free but then says it's DKK15.  The metro
route it suggests is V-shaped and isn't valid on the usual two-zone
ticket.  The better route is to take any westbound commuter train two
stops to Ørestad St., then one stop north on the Metro to Bella Center.
It's the same ticket, all tickets work on all transport modes.

If you plan to travel to and from the meeting by transit every day,
the Travel Pass it describes is a good deal.  (It's delivered by phone
text message so if you're getting a Danish SIM, get the SIM first.)  If
not, you're likely better off with a Rejsekort stored value card,
available from ticket machines at the airport, or individual tickets
from machines or the mobile app.

The list of mobile apps should include the DOT Mobilbilletter app
which lets you buy single tickets and a discounted 20 zone pass,
charged to your credit card.  The app also ties itself to your phone
number so if you're getting a Danish SIM, do that first.

R's,
John

PS: On the page of questions about blockchain, here's a spoiler: the
answers to the first six questions is "no", and to the last question
is "maybe".
