There are many other hotels available near the centrally located Hyatt Hotel, which we have selected as the official congress hotel. If you prefer to stay elsewhere, we recommend you seek something online that is located in the vicinity of the Hyatt Hotel as this is where we will operate a shuttle bus service to and from the congress venue and social events. Should you prefer to be close to the Congress centre, you will need to make use of the subway to access social events or the city centre and all its offerings. The station nearest the congress venue is Taipei Nangang Exhibition Hall Center Station.
