The Organising Committee has made arrangements to facilitate accommodation for delegates during the congress period in Kochi, Kerala, India. All prices are in Indian Rupees (INR). International participants should check prevailing exchange rates.
Note: Accommodation at the conference venue hotel is limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Early booking is strongly encouraged.
Important Notice: Participants are strongly advised to make their room reservations at the earliest, as November is a peak tourism season in Kochi and rooms are expected to sell out quickly, with a likely surge in prices closer to the dates.
