We have reserved hotel room allocations and discounts for conference participants. Below you will find more information about the accommodation options and booking instructions. Each participant is responsible for booking and paying for their own hotel room. Please make your reservation in good time – some allocations/discounts have a limited number of rooms and a specified last date for booking at the discounted rate.
