Conference language

Conference security

Estoril is a safe destination, but you should exercise normal levels of precautions against street crime (as in any world city) by making sure that your valuables are out of sight (or better still in your hotel room safe). There will be security at the conference and exhibition, and all delegates are required to wear their conference badges to access the event facilities.

Conference venue 

The conference and exhibition will be held at the Estoril Congress Centre, Av. Amaral, 2765-192 Estoril, Portugal

Accommodation

Delegates are responsible for organising their own travel and accommodation. Plesae use the links on the Accommodation page to book your rooms.

SCAM WARNING - We understand that a company calling itself Exhibiting Housing Services (or similar) has been contacting some of the delegates and exhibitors, trying to prompt them to make their hotel booking over the phone. This is a scam. Please do not give anyone your credit card details over the phone. You are likely to lose your money and be left with no hotel room!
