Accommodations
Warning: Some people have received a phone call from someone claiming to be from a hotel agency representing the our conference. They were offering to book a hotel for them.
This is not a genuine call, as we did not hire any agency to organize accommodations. Please ignore phone calls like those ones because they are a scam. Please do *not* give your credit card details.
There was a similar warning about such calls recently on the Astronomers Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/123898011017097/permalink/3268986759841524/
The Radisson Blu Saga Hotel offers 235 rooms. The hotel will offer attendees 80 Standard rooms at a rate of 18.800kr/night.

The room rate includes accommodation and breakfast. Details about the Guarantee policy and cancellation policy can be found at the booking link above.
