Hotel Information

 There is no meeting hotel for this Interim. The meetings will be held at ITU headquarters in the Monbrilliant and Tower buildings. The ITU however has provided a list of hotels that give preferred rates to ITU participants.

Participants are responsible for selecting and booking their own hotel. These hotels typically do not advertise the ITU hotel rate. You will need to ask for it. It has been suggested that you narrow your search down to 5 or 10 likely hotels, and telephone, send an email or FAX to confirm the ITU rates and availability. You should locate a prospective hotel on a map to see how far it is from ITU headquarters. Bus, train, taxi, light rail and walking are all transportation options depending upon the hotel location.

There is no one to call for help with hotels. Participants are on their own.

Meeting Registration

 Since this meeting is being hosted by the ITU there is no registration fee. Participants however are required to have a photo badge at all times while at the ITU. Registration for your photo badge may be perfomed on the IEEE 802 Interim meetings registration web page. Photos will be taken of all participants that are not already in the ITU database.

When you get to the ITU, you will need to have your photograph taken if required, and pickup your badge. The on-site Badge Pick-up location is in the lobby of the Montbrillant building. Last minute on-site registration will be available, but is not recommended.

Please note that seperate registration is required for the joint IEEE/ITU-T Workshop on Carrier Ethernet.
