Accomodation in Stockholm

No hotel reservations have been made for the NGM 2017. Conference participants are recommended to book accommodation well in advance. Here you find a list of hotels and hostels.

Cashpoint

Closest to the conference venue, by the entrance to the subway.

Presentations

Presenters should save their PowerPoint presentation as a pptx-file, pdf-file, Microsoft Office 2007 or newer. We recommend you to ask the presenters to send their presentations to you, the convener(s), in advance of the conference. It can also be a good thing to bring a file with the presentations to the session in a USB-flash drive as a precaution.
