Accomodation

Please be aware that you will need to book your own hotel accommodation for the duration of your stay in Hong Kong. As October falls into what is regarded as peak season bookings need to be made early. Check with your travel agent as some hotels have arrangements with airlines and you may get a package that includes accommodation. 

 

We have secured a corporate rate at the Stanford Hillview Hotel in Observatory Road on Kunstford Terrace, Tsim Sha Tsui, which is a short walk away from the conference venue. Please download the booking form and submit directly to the Stanford Hillview Hotel to secure this rate. There are a number of trade shows on in Hong Kong over that period of time and already there is pressure on rooms. We would urge you to do this as soon as possible. http://www.stanfordhillview.com/en/
