About the venue
The congress will be held at a single main venue in Gaborone, with plenary capacity for the full delegation, a set of parallel session rooms, exhibition and poster space, and catering areas.
Gaborone's compact layout means the venue, the official hotels and Sir Seretse Khama International Airport all sit within a short drive of one another. Transfer arrangements between the hotels and the venue will be published with the accommodation release.
