The lovely building with its cute clock tower is
innoQ Deutschland GmbH
Krischerstraße 100
40789 Monheim.
Here are links to that location on Openstreetmap map and on Google Maps route finding service.
Should you get lost or stuck, dial +49 2173 3366 188. This should connect you to an organizer or coach that will try to help you get there.
You'll be heading for the bus stop Deusser Haus in Monheim (Rheinl.). The innoQ-building is just a few steps from that bus stop. You can use the connection finder in its more or less English version or its German one, or else one of these:
central train station, depart at 16:57 from track 10 on train S 6 heading for Essen. From Köln, you'll need a “Preisstufe 3” ticket (4.80 €) of VRS, it'll take you right to the place.
Get off that train at Langenfeld, which you should reach at 17:25.
Enter bus 790 heading for Landwirtschaftszentrum, which should come at 17:31.
Get off the bus at Monheim Busbahnhof, which you should reach at 17:41.

central train station, depart at 8:37 from track 10 on train S 6 heading for Essen. From Köln, you'll need a “Preisstufe 3” ticket (4.80 €) of VRS.

central train station, depart at 8:32 from track 11 on train S 6 heading for Köln Nippes. From Düsseldorf, you'll need a “B” ticket (5.10 €) of VRR.
When you are past Hellerhof, there will be a stop called Langenfeld Bergerhausen. Wrong stop, no shuttle service here, so remain seated.
Rather, get off that train at the next stop after Langenfeld Bergerhausen, which is plain Langenfeld, which you should reach at 8:54.
Proceed from the train station to the parking lot and bus stops. Some friendly person waving a Railsgirls logo will be eager you get you to the right place. - Should you experience a problem, that number again: +49 2173 3366 188.
After the event, there will be a shuttle service bringing you back to the Langenfeld S train station. But of course, we don't really want you to leave just then! You'd be missing a lot of the fun if you did!
The smart thing is, stay for the Afterparty! There will be yet another shuttle service then, too.
