Checklist

  • Draft recommended hotel & hostel list
    • HostelWorld: a reliable website where you can find cheap hostel. You can see on the map where they're placed so you can choose one close to the Summit.
    • Ibis Amsterdam Center Hotel: for the sponsored participants and the big bunch of people happy with a price of ~146 €/night inc breakfast for a double room with twin beds (may be cheaper for single room).
    • Art Hotel Amsterdam: recommended to those more interested in a 4 star hotel.
    • Ibis Amsterdam City West Hotel: A cheaper option, but further out. Price around 65€/night for a double room. I ordered via accorhotels.com and got the price 69/59/59 € for 3 nights starting at Thursday (asys3)


  • Block book and/or obtain group rates
    • Requires visiting hotel, asking for accommodation manager, and negotiating a group price.
    • Sell the conference as important, high visibility, and argue that being a recommended hotel being a benefit for the hotel
  • Put hotel list online
  • Book hotel rooms pre-paid for sponsored attendees, maybe?
