The card entitles you to unlimited travel by subway, bus and commuter train within the whole of Stockholm County, except for travel to/from the airport. When you go to Stockholmsmässan in Älvsjö from the Central Railway Station the first time, your ICOC2011 confirmation letter will serve as a single ticket. It is valid on the commuter train from Thursday June 16 until 12 pm on Saturday June 18. Please present your letter at the ticket counter.

The fastest way to travel from Stockholm-Arlanda airport to the city center is by the Arlanda Express high-speed train. It will take you to the city in 20 minutes. Other ways of transportation include airport coaches and taxis. More information concerning travel and arrival/departure information can be found here.
When travelling from the conference venue, Stockholm International fairs, to the airport, you need to go with the commutertrain to the city center and there you change to either

Allow at least an hour for the trip out to the airport in this direction if you go by Arlanda Express, the bus takes 20-30 minutes longer. You can of course go by taxi all the way, check at the time of booking what the trafficsituation is like to the airport.
