DETAILS

Our meetings will BEGIN on Friday, December 6th, with dinner and END on Tuesday, December 10th, with lunch. It will take place at:

GATHERING VENUE:
Eser Premium Hotel & Spa
Fatih, Gazi Mustafa Cd No:11, 34500
Büyükçekmece / İstanbul Türkiye
Our local hosting group is Rainbow Tours, and they will handle everything with the hotel, so please don’t be in direct touch with the hotel.
ARRIVAL INFORMATION
The venue is located on the European side and so most will want to book flights to the Istanbul Airport (IST), NOT to Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). The airport transfer costs included in the registration are for IST. TRANSPORTATION FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE VENUE is included in the overall registration fee with Rainbow Tours coordinating with IDRN to get you from the airport (IST) to the hotel. If possible, please schedule your flights to arrive on Friday (6th) before 2 pm, and to depart on Tuesday (10th) late afternoon or evening.
ADDITIONAL DAYS

Indicate below if you want or need to extend your stay on either end so that we have reserved needed rooms for extra nights. When calculating additional days, the full board cost is 100 EUR per person per night for double room and 160 EUR per person per night for single room.
