I have requested a room for the night – is this confirmed?

If you are a qualified attendee and you have ticked to stay overnight, then yes, a room is confirmed for you at NH Malaga for the night of Tuesday 9 June. You will be asked to reconfirm this room with Alternative Events ahead of the event.

By confirming your overnight stay, you are committing to the room, which is being paid for IN ADVANCE by Alternative Events. Therefore, if your plans change, we ask that you give us at least 48 hours’ notice if you are no longer able to stay overnight, so that we can offer your room to another attendee.

P.S. Please don’t be a “no-show” … We have a great delegate culture at Alternative Events, where delegates let us know if they cannot attend. We understand that plans change, and while we’ll miss you, we’d much rather know in advance than have unused (and paid for!) rooms. Your understanding with this is greatly appreciated.
