For the conference you have to make reservations for accommodation on your own, either at one of the many hotels/hostels or through private accommodation.
Private accommodation
There are several possibilities available through one of the major private accommodation providers (AirBnB or similar). We would recommend choosing a location close (< 2.0 kilometer) to the city center. If you decide on a location further than walking distance from the venue be sure to check the nearest bus stop, routes and time table at www.atb.no/en

Hotel/hostels
Most of the hotels and hostels in Trondheim are situated in or near the city center and varies in both standard and pricing, but the standard is overall at a high level. Be aware that there are a couple of hotels situated a bit outside of the city (more than 3.0 km), so be sure to check this when you make your reservation. If you consider a venue outside of the city or far from the conference check www.atb.no/en for the nearest bus stop, routes and time tables (Closest bus stop to the conference is “Solsiden”)
