Recommended Hotel:

The SC34 plenary takes place immediately following the Topic Maps 2008 conference (www.topicmaps.com) at the Thon Hotel Bristol, which is directly opposite the plenary venue.
A special rate of NOK 1295 per night has been negotiated with the Thon Hotel Bristol for conference attendees. This rate applies for guests arriving on April 2 or 3 in order to attend the conference, and may be extended until April 10 in order to attend the SC34 plenary. We were unfortunately not able to negotiate a similar rate for guests who do not attend the conference.

In order to get the special rate, attendees should contact the Thon Hotel Bristol directly, quoting the code "6099661". The number of rooms is limited, so delegates should make their bookings early:
