Everything you need to plan your trip — venue directions, nearby accommodation, local transport, side events, and practical info for guests coming from abroad.
A short list of hotels within easy walking distance of each venue, across a range of budgets. This is a starting point, not an exclusive partner list — book independently and early, as September is peak season in both cities.
Classic 5-star option directly in the historic centre, favoured by past delegations.
Art Nouveau landmark hotel; walkable to both the venue and Old Town.
Reliable, budget-friendly, and well connected by public transit.
Good option for delegates staying the full week or travelling as a small team.
Lakeside 5-star hotel a few minutes' walk from Hotel Beau Séjour.
Old Town riverside hotel with views of the Chapel Bridge.
Straightforward budget-friendly base close to the train station.
Family-run, central, and popular with returning conference guests.
Both cities are compact and walkable, with reliable public transit as a backup. Neither venue requires a rental car.
Fast, frequent, and runs until midnight. A 24-hour ticket (~120 CZK) covers metro, tram, and bus, and is the simplest option for delegates without a Czech SIM.
Bolt and Uber both operate in Prague and are the most predictable option for airport transfers and evening events.
Delegates continuing to the Luzern leg travel by coordinated coach transfer or independently by rail via Nuremberg/Zurich — details shared with confirmed delegates.
Switzerland's SBB rail network is punctual and connects directly from Zurich Airport. Within Luzern, the lakeside is entirely walkable.
Taxis are metered and reliable but more expensive than Swiss public transit; walking or the lake ferry is often faster for short hops.
A shuttle service runs between partner hotels and the venue on core Forum days — schedule shared in your briefing pack.
A number of receptions, visits, and social events run alongside the core programme. Attendance is optional for most and confirmed in your registration briefing pack.
Our team can help with visa letters, hotel recommendations, or coordinating your Prague → Luzern transfer.
