Hotels

Rooms have been reserved for the Congress in a range of hotels in the vicinity of the Arena and Convention Centre, and delegates should contact their preferred hotel directly, quoting a special booking code in order to make their accommodation arrangements benefiting from discounts negotiated with the hotels. Bookings may be made now with prices guaranteed until 2nd May 2008: delegates are advised to book early. Bookings must be made by telephone, fax or email; we regret that bookings cannot be made at the discount rate via the hotels' normal websites (although you may find it helpful to check room availability using the websites before contacting your preferred hotel).
