The Jonkoping team has made available booking forms for Post-congress tours, accompanying person’s program and hotel reservations.
  1. Post-congress tours & Accompanying person’s program for you and your family.
2. Hotel reservations where you will find a detailed list of hotels to choose from. Please book your hotel room well in advance (limited number), as there is no guarantee after July 1st, 2010.
Weather forecast in August in Jonkoping
The optimistic organizers predict good sunshine for the whole congress period! However, they may partly be wrong and wish to inform the participants, that even if one does not expect snow to fall, the temperature may vary. August is usually a warm month by Scandinavian standards meaning that it can be anything between +12 and +25 °C. In other words, a good wind/rain jacket, a sweater, as well as summer clothes may be good to bring in the luggage.
