All the hotels have easy access to the CTICC, and are within walking distance. For convenience, delegates can book accommodation with their registration (please see the "Accommodation Booking" section on the Registration Form).
It is strongly advised that delegates reserve accommodation early to ensure availability. If delegates would prefer to book a budget hotel, a bed and breakfast or a guesthouse for themselves, the Conference Secretariat can make recommendations on request.
