Transfers will be available for Routes World delegates between Official Hotels, the event venue and networking events. View the timings, transfer routes and plan your event experience.
Official Hotels Drop Off/Pick Up Routes

The transfers will arrive at the advertised time at the first hotel on the route, pick up delegates and then proceed to the next hotel. Volunteers will be on hand at dedicated desks in the hotel lobby to answer any specific questions you may have.
Transfer Route 1: WOW Hotel, Pullman, Mercure, Crown Plaza Florya
