In addition to the conference program, there will be a morning of

the PKP Team event will give a more informal opportunity to get to
know some of the faces and people behind the Public Knowledge Project.

Accommodations

We have arranged a reduced rate at the Radisson Paraiso Hotel Mexico
City. The hotel is conveniently close to the UNAM and will host a
large portion of the conference attendees for convenience.

There are a limited number of rooms available, so please book as early
as possible. You will find more information on our website

We look forward to seeing you in Mexico!
