In order to ensure that you will have a room in Helsinki during the conference we would advice you to book your hotel now. The easiest way to book the hotel is through our website http://www.iias2009.fi/ by the 31st May! After that you may book the room through Helsinki Experts service (there will be a link at our website) or directly from the hotels.
Tuesday we took a tour around the conference venue to check once more how we would place the different sessions in the different rooms. We were also doing some "customer journey mapping" in order to assure that we know how to place the direction signs for the participants to find their way around Helsinki university. Tuesday the other guests at the university were slightly more dignified than us as it happened that the secretary general of the United Nations Mr Ban Ki-moon was also visiting.
As this evening is nice and sunny we thought what better than a walk around the city. It is an excellent way also for visitors to get to know Helsinki. If you want to plan tour walk and take a route that is designed especially for visitors you may want to take a look at the guide "See Helsinki on Foot - 7 routes around the city" http://www.visithelsinki.fi/In_English/Visitor.iw3 .
As the university main building is by the Senate Square you might be interested in Route number one of the guide "Senate Square and its surroundings".
