Poznań is located about half way between Warsaw (320 km) and Berlin (280 km), and there are good, frequent rail connections between those two cities and Poznań.
Check your connections using the timetables of the Polish Railways, or German Railways.
Poznań's Ławica airport has frequent daily connections with Warsaw (LOT Polish Airlines), as well as with Vienna (LOT and Austrian Airlines), Copenhagen (SAS), Frankfurt/Main and Munich (LOT and Lufthansa), Cologne/Bonn (European Air Express), and Hannover, Dortmund and Zurich (Dauair).
The low-cost carriers Wizzair and Ryanair provide connections with London Luton and Stansted, respectively.

However, please verify with the respective airlines whether the

Polish weather can be quite changeable in April, although traditionally
the conference has enjoyed fair, sunny weather with temperatures
between 15 and 20 Centigrade during the day. Nights can be cooler. With
worse luck, a raincoat and umbrella may find some use. Current forecast
