Copenhagen is a rather expensive and very touristy place. Furthermore, there is a major medical conference and some hockey games taking place at the time of our meeting, which makes getting accommodation very challenging.
So, please book your hotel early - actually, please book your hotel NOW! The university and its beautiful auditorium are located in an area called Norrebro, not far from Frederiksberg, and also not very far from Osterbro. Also, the transportation system in Copenhagen is excellent, and even being a bit further away (downtown, Amager etc.) is not a problem at all.
You can find accommodation through the following links:

Cycling in Copenhagen
With the excellent bicycle paths, and the fact that 49% of Copenhagen people go to work by bike, you might want to use a bicycle too during your time in Copenhagen, if you are anywhere within about 5 km of the meeting location.
The recommended company to rent from is Bicyklen. Check it out, it is affordable and fun.
And check out the rules - Danes are not very forgiving if you cycle with your own rules. There are up to 100 bicycles going through a traffic light from when it turns green until it is red again (I counted - it is very impressive), so people really have to do it right to not constantly collide. The next GREAT video gives you the ground rules:
