Book your accommodation now. Availability of allotted rooms is limited and may be subject to time limited issued by the hotel providers. The published conference prices are therefore subject to change.
Upon payment, an electronic proof of payment receipt is provided.
A confirmation email with the name of the allocated hotel will be sent after payment is received by the organizers.
Please Note
When booking your accommodation, please remember that the check-out date is the day you leave the hotel, not an additional night of stay.
- If you check in on 11 October and check out on 15 October, this means you are staying 4 nights (11, 12, 13, 14).
- The night of 15 October should not be booked, since you will already be checking out that morning.
To avoid paying for an extra, unused night, always count the nights between your check-in and check-out dates.
Travel to Iceland
There are multiple flights every day to and from Iceland from destinations in Europe, USA and Canada. To find your convenient flights we encourage you to visit the websites of either of the two major Icelandic airlines, www.icelandair.com or www.flyplay.com or to use www.skyscanner.net
Flights to Iceland land at Keflavik international airport - KEF, located about 50 km a way from downtown Reykjavik and the IGEC conference venue. Travel time is about 45 min to an hour. For more information on the airport visit https://www.kefairport.com/
An affordable and convenient bus option is offered from Keflavík airport to Reykjavík hotels. A ticket can be bought upon arrival at the arrival terminal or online via https://www.re.is/tour/flybus/ Busses depart from directly outside the arrival terminal.
Taxis are also available. The taxis are located directly outside the terminal on the arrival side of the terminal. To secure a favorable price we encourage prebooking your taxi or at least asking the price before setting off. An example of a respectable taxi company is https://www.hreyfill.is/
All cars and busses accept credit cards.
Car rental
Multiple car rental companies operate in Iceland, offering a wide range of vehicles, including electric. Driving in Iceland is quite safe and at the time of the conference driving conditions should normally be good. Vehicles can be picked up and dropped off at the Keflavik airport or in the Reykjavik area. Electrical vehicles are becoming widely used in Iceland and access to charging facilities throughout the country.
