The following hotels have a discounted rate for the VS Games 2013 conference and its delegates. Please make sure you mention Bournemouth University is hosting and involved in the organisation of the conference when making your bookings to receive the discount. Also, please make sure you book early as middle of September can be a busy period for a lot of hotels in the area.
The hotels are all located (approximately) in the centre of Bournemouth (and near the seafront), which is a short bus or taxi trip away from the Talbot campus of the University in Poole where the conference will be taking place.
