The participants who will come earlier, or later the arrival day, can take a taxi and ask to get them to Pushkin to "Kochubey's palace (house)" to the above address.
Note: the taxi cabs are rather expansive, about 30 Euros, so we recommend you to share a car with other participants of the conference.

Another possibility is to take a bus number 13 or a route taxi ("marshrutnoe taxi"), also number 13 from the airport to the metro station "Moskovskaya" (the end stop). Tickets can be bought directly from the driver. The route duration is about 20 minutes and it costs about 18 Rub ~ 0.5 Euro. From the metro station "Moskovskaya" take the route taxi number 287 (express), 342, 347, 286, 299, or 545 which all go to Pushkin.
The route taxi stop is about 400 meters from "Moskovskaya", see the map . The route to Pushkin duration is about 40 minutes and it costs about 30 Rub.
In Pushkin, all the taxis have a stop next to Bolshoy Catherine Palace which is within five hundred meters from the Conference Residence

Take the metro to the metro station "Moskovskaya". From "Moskovskaya" take a route taxi number 287, 342, 347, 286, 299, or 545 to Pushkin as explained above.

By car:

Find a map of St.Petersburg. Google maps can be of some help for you. From St.Petersburg follow the Moskovskii Prospect to the South, pass Ploschad' Pobedi (The Place of Victory), and follow the Kievskoe Shosse (Highway to Kiev) about 10 km.
