It is strongly advised for ADASS2019 and IVOA participants to book their hotel by 1 August 2019 23:99 CEST via this web link provided by the Groningen Congres Bureau.

After 1 August, it is still possible to book a room via the above web link by Groningen Congres Bureau. The Congresbureau will do their utmost to accommodate the reservation at the hotel requested by the participant. However, since the block booking expires after 1 August, prices may go up and availability can be limited or the hotel is fully booked. If the requested hotel is fully booked, the Congresbureau will look for an alternative available hotel in the same price range. The Congresbureau will communicate with the participant about this.
