Hotel Accomodation
As a service for our delegates, the Stockholm Convention Bureau, StoCon, will arrange your hotel accommodation at no extra charge!
Do not book hotels directly - use the registration WEB or registration form, instead.

Your reservation (via conference registration) will be confirmed when StoCon has received your registration form together with your hotel deposit. This pre-payment will be deducted from your hotel bill when checking out on presentation of the voucher that will be available at the registration desk at the conference venue. The remaining amount is to be settled by you directly to the hotel. StoCon will operate on a 'first-come-first-served' basis with incoming requests. In the event of the preferred hotel being fully booked, StoCon reserves the right to book another available alternative . Different hotels have been pre-booked for the period August 26 to September 1, 2000. If you would like earlier arrival or later departure, please mark this clearly on your registration form and we will do our utmost to assist you. All of the booked hotels are between 5-20 minutes of walking distance of the conference venue, they offer private bath/shower/WC, telephone, radio, TV and breakfast facilities.
