Transport Arrangement to/from Hotels
Two-way bus transport will be provided between the recommended hotels (Genting Hotel Jurong and Park Avenue Rochester) and the conference venue. The bus will pick-up and drop-off participants only at these two hotels' locations at specific timings on conference days. This transport is only participants who have pre-booked a seat on one of the bus routes. [Registered Participants will be contacted closer to the conference date to indicate if they would like to reserve a seat.]
Tentative Transport Schedule
Two-way bus transfers for conference participants (from hotel to conference venue, and from conference venue back to hotel). This schedule is tentative and will only be confirmed closer to the conference dates. There will only be a single trip each way per day. The bus will depart promptly and we regret that the bus cannot wait for latecomers.
