Official Accommodation
There are many great hotels in and around the area offering comfortable and convenient accommodation for all guests, and an opportunity for APEX FTE EMEA and Ancillary & Retailing attendees to meet and network organically, during their downtime. Rooms are limited, so we recommend all delegates who are yet to make their reservations do so at their earliest opportunity. FTE-arranged discounted room rates are no longer available. To secure your hotel reservation, we recommend using Booking.com, Expedia or Hotels.com.
Please be aware: A number of unauthorised service providers – including ‘Housing Services’, ‘Exhibition Housing Management’, and ‘Trade Show Housing’ – have contacted attendees offering hotel reservations. These providers often charge excessive booking/credit card fees and enforce strict cancellation policies.
This is beyond our control, so we urge all attendees to avoid making reservations via these sites.
