Accommodation
The success of The 10th World Congress of Biomechanics (WCB 2025) depends on delegates, sponsors and exhibitors using the official housing bureau, International Conference Services Ltd. (ICS). Contracted room obligations cannot be met if registrants reserve rooms outside the official hotel or book hotels through channels other than the official Housing Secretariat. Rooms that are not filled through the official channels create an expense for the Congress in the form of financial penalties (attrition fees) and place the financial success of the Congress and the Association at risk.

A limited number of guest rooms through the Housing Secretariat (ICS) will be offered to delegates at a discounted rate.
Although we have done our due diligence and negotiated the lowest possible group rates, we cannot predict future offers made by competing hotels. However, we urge everyone to support the Congress and book through the official housing bureau.
Please do not contact the Hotel or make a reservation directly with the Hotel. If you have any questions, please email wcb2026-housing@icsevents.com.

Housing Piracy Warning
WARNING: Please beware of housing piracy companies. They are contacting delegates/sponsors to book rooms through their channels and are claiming that they control the rooms for the Congress. They do not. These companies charge non-refundable deposits from the moment you book their rooms; thus, making it impossible for delegates to cancel their reservations. In some situations, rooms are not booked but payment has been taken.
