Accommodation
We recommend booking a cottage together with the other attendees, because it's cheaper and there's a great chance for making lifelong friends.
If your colleagues are not coming, and you're not familiar with the international Swift community yet, you can try your luck in finding flatmates in the conference Slack.
SYÖTE BOOKING CENTREThere are also two hotels at the resort:
