Accommodations

There is a variety of accommodation available in Tampere, ranging from modern first-class hotels to smaller traditional hotels and hostels. Conference room rates range from 160 euros (first class) to 120 euros (regular) to 45 euros (economy). The room rates usually include a buffet breakfast.

To obtain the special conference rates, bookings must be made on the conference registration form. Tampere will be crowded and hotels almost fully booked during the 2009 congress period. To secure accommodation of your choice, you should register as early as possible! There are still rooms left in most of the hotels but fairly soon hotel reservations will become subject to availability. Rooms may be reserved on the registration form from May 24th to May 30th. Contact our conference secretariat at Congreszon Ltd directly if you need rooms outside these dates.

A hotel deposit of one night is to be paid in advance together with the congress fees. The hotel deposit will be deducted from the total cost of accommodation. More information is available on the registration form.
