Accommodation

Lisbon is a very popular destination so we strongly encourage you to book your accommodation soon. Rooms have been block-booked in a few hotels but they offer very short deadlines (starting 28 February!).  There are also reasonably-priced apartments for rent near the conference venue (the Feira International de Lisboa (FIL) Conference Centre).
