To travel from Hamburg Airport to Warnemünde, take the S-Bahn (subway) line S1 located in the basement of the airport terminal to Hamburg's central railway station (Hauptbahnhof). This train operates every 10 minutes and takes approximately 25 minutes.
From Hamburg Central Station take the IC or RE-Connection to Rostock. These trains depart roughly every hour.

Traveling within Warnemünde to the Symposium Venue
On arrival in Warnemünde you will need to travel to either your hotel or to the Yachthafenresidenz Hohe Düne where the symposium is taking place and where accommodation has been booked for some delegates. The easiest way to travel to both destinations from the train station is by foot.
In order to reach the symposium venue you will need to take a passenger ferry across the Warnow River. The ferry goes every 20 minutes and is 1,20 € per person. To reach the ferry you have to go through a small pedestrian tunnel in the Warnemünde railway station that takes you right to the river banks. Turn right and walk about 100 meters to reach the ferry terminal.
The hotel complex you see on the other side of the Warnow River is the Yachthafenresidenz Hohe Düne where the symposium takes place. The conference building is located at the base of the mole.
