Hotel booking

Venue

The congress will be hosted in the Gothia Towers Hotel. All scientific sessions will take place in Hall F, located on the 2nd floor.

If you are not staying in the hotel, please enter via the middle tower and take the stairs or elevators up one floor. ESSO 44 signage will guide you to the congress areas.

Registration

One week before the congress, you will receive an email with the badge barcode. With this barcode, you can print your badge onsite at one of the self check-in kiosks. A reminder email with the barcode will be sent again on Tuesday, 14 October.

Speakers that have booked a room in the hotel using the booking form provided by me, will receive their badge at the reception while checking in. Kindly note this is only for speakers checking in on Tuesday – Thursday. In accommodation (see below) you will find the confirmation if you have already booked.

Badge printing will be available during the following times:

  • Tuesday, 14 October: 16:00 – 18:00 (self check-in near Room R2, 2nd floor)
  • Wednesday, 15 October: 07:30 – 18:00 (self check-in Hall F)
  • Thursday, 16 October: 07:30 – 18:00 (self check-in Hall F)
  • Friday, 17 October: 07:30 – 12:00 (self check-in Hall F)

We kindly advise you to collect your badge as early as possible. Wednesday and Thursday mornings, as these are expected to be peak hours.
