Booking schedule
A number of rooms in different categories have been booked at attractive rates since Helsinki may be crowded during the conference period. All hotels are located close to each other as this is more convenient for transport, shopping, sightseeing and dining.

To secure accommodation of your choice, you should register as early as possible. Prices quoted are per room per night and include accommodation, buffet breakfast, hotel service charge and value added tax (VAT). All hotel reservations, especially after 31 March 2008, will be subject to availability. There will be no organised bus transportation since most of the hotels are located within walking distance from the conference venue Marina Congress Center.

Hotel deposit
A hotel deposit of one night should be paid in advance together with the conference fees. The hotel deposit will be deducted from the total cost of accommodation. The remaining hotel payment will be charged at the hotel upon check-out. The hotel deposit is non-refundable if the cancellation is made after 30 April 2008. Possible cancellations or changes to reservations should be made in writing by e-mail, telefax or airmail to the conference secretariat. Hotel bookings should be made through the conference secretariat in order to benefit from the special rates.

General conditions
As soon as the registration form is received, all reservations will be completed based on requests which, however, will be subject to availability. Confirmation for hotel accommodation will be included in the confirmation letter confirming the participation for the conference. No hotel vouchers will be needed since the conference secretariat will transfer the hotel deposit amounts to each hotel and the deposit amounts will be deducted from the remaining hotel invoice to be paid at the hotel during the conference.

Participants are requested to pay their personal expenses directly to the hotel at latest when checking out. Please indicate on the Registration Form if arrival at the hotel is scheduled after 18:00 so the conference secretariat can inform the hotel about your late arrival. The regular check-out time is 12:00. Please note that all room reservations will be made on ”first come, first served” basis and all reservations will be subject to availability.
