The Congress takes place at the Messe Leipzig / Congress Center Leipzig (CCL) near XYZ - right next to train station XYZ.
If you are new to Leipzig, you should get a city map and a map of the local train system. You can get maps of S+U-bahns, underground and metro buses at many LVG shops for free, and city maps are available for a few euros.

XYZ station
Arrival by local transport
The CCH Congress Center Hamburg is very near Dammtor station, providing connection to the S-Bahn (S11/S21/S31) as well as to regional an national trains operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB). Leave the train station in the direction to CCH and turn right, go 100m, then climb the stairs to the left, turn right again and go another 30 meters. Then you should be in front of the doors of CCH.
There is also an other U-Bahn station really close, it is called Stephansplatz (U1). That can be listed as "Dammtor/CCH" as well.

Arrival by train
The best way to travel to Hamburg by train is via the ICE (InterCityExpress) routes. The trains stop at wikipedia:Hamburg Dammtor station. Look up your connections with the Online Booking System of the Deutsche Bahn.
There is a special event ticket by Deutsche Bahn for your travel.
Arrival by bus
Just recently we got rid of the monopoly of the German train company regarding long distance rides, so those busses are a nice option, too. They will start and end at various but central places, please check the Static:Local_Transport how to reach Static:CCH.
