Accommodation
There is no official hotel for OCP17, so you will need to make your own arrangements for accommodation in Warsaw (consider https://www.booking.com/ or http://airbnb.com ).
You may also consider the Warsaw River View, where our invited speakers will be staying. It is a nice small hotel located near the Vistula river, within walking distance of the conference venue.
Apart from that, there are several B&Bs close to the conference site:
- Hotel Logos https://www.hotellogos.pl/en/
