Accommodation
Please book your hotel yourself; there is no specially negotiated rate with any hotel. There is no hotel near NUS within walking distance, so any hotel you book will involve travelling time. As Singapore is expensive, it is recommended that you book earlier than later.
One recommendation:
We usually put our seminar visitors in the Park Rochester Rochester Hotel, Park Avenue Rochester - Park Avenue Hotels & Suites (parkavenuegroup.com). It is in the vicinity of NUS, but requires a taxi ride nonetheless.
Getting Here
Taxis
The easiest way to get to the workshop venue is by taxi. Please download the taxi apps when you arrive in Singapore - Grab, Gojek or Tada
