Accomodation Details

   Accommodation in Mumbai tends to be very expensive and difficult at the best of times, and December is a particularly difficult season. IWPSD 2007 has made special arrangements at nearby hotels and guest houses at substantially discounted rates. To avail of these rates, the reservations must be done through the IWPSD workshop.

   IWPSD will arrange bus transfers to and from the hotels/guest houses to the workshop venue on all days of the workshop from only these hotels/guest houses.

   IWPSD 2007 has made arrangements for limited, shared, guest house accommodation available on a first come first served basis. Accommodation will be provided for 4 nights (16th - 19th December 2007) on payment of a fixed accommodation fee. There is no subsidy for staying for a shorter number of nights.

   This accommodation must be booked and paid for in advance, latest by 15th November 2007. We will not be able to guarantee any kind of accommodation for on-site registrants.
