IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE PARTICIPANTS

TICKETS (QR CODE)

The simplest way of registration is at the accreditation desk if you show your Ticket QR code on your mobile phone screen or as a printout 

All participants who have been assigned tickets (and all have been assigned) can access their tickets online at any time.

AGENDA

A QR code with a link to the conference website will be printed on the accreditations.

The online agenda will always have the latest status, and if a lecture is canceled at the last minute, information about it will be posted above the agenda.

The agenda is alive and being refined until the last hour. Take an occasional look at the agenda. 

MOBILE APPLICATION

This year, thanks to Mr. Richard Martens, we will use a mobile application. For easier access, the QR code will be printed on the accreditations. On the link: https://oraconfx.com/app/hroug25 you can access the mobile application, and prepare for the conference by choosing the lectures that interest you, and the evaluation of lecturers and lectures (survey) will be done through the application. Valuable prizes will be drawn from the collected evaluations at the closing of the conference.

WHERE THE SHIP GOES FROM / PARKING LOT

The pier from where the boat departs for the island is called Delfin (because of the name of the pool nearby), and it is located near the Park Hotel and the entrance to the Rovinj Marina.

All the necessary information regarding car parking and boat transportation can be obtained at the reception of the "Island Hotels Reception" pier. The hotel staff will assist you with boarding the boat and will direct you to the parking lot as well as back from it to the pier.

PARKING PROCEDURE

The hotel parking is free, and it is located approx. 1 km from the pier, near the Eden Hotel. A shuttle bus runs between the pier and the parking lot.

After the passengers and luggage have been unloaded from the car, the driver driving behind the shuttle bus takes the car to the parking lot.

When the cars are left in the parking lot, the drivers take the shuttle bus back to the pier.

Allow about 30 minutes to go to the hotel parking lot and return by shuttle bus to the pier.

If you have larger or heavier luggage, ask for the assistance of a sailor who will load everything that needs to be transported to the island into the ship.

Upon arrival on the island, the hotel staff will transfer all luggage to the hotel entrance.

SHIP TO THE ISLAND

Since the hotel is located in the Rovinj archipelago, we have organized a 15-minute boat ride from Rovinj.

The boat ride for HrOUG conference participants is FREE. If anyone asks you about a boat ticket, say that you are a participant in the conference and that you are going to get accredited. When you go from the island, don't forget your accreditation, just to be able to confirm that you are a conference participant.

According to the schedule, the boat departs every hour from 5:30 a.m. (from Rovinj) to 1:00 a.m (from the island).

CHECK-IN - CHECK-OUT

Check-in is from 3 p.m., and check-out is until 11 a.m. The hotel has a luggage room that you can use on the last day of the conference.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR LECTURERS ---->>>> !!!! NEW AND IMPORTANT !!!!

- As we saw in previous years, barely 10% of lecturers use notebooks for the presentation provided by the organizer, it no longer made any sense for the organizer to bring notebooks. From this year, each lecturer must bring his own notebook that he wants to use at the presentation. If there is a problem and it is not possible to connect the notebook to the projector, the organizer will have a couple of notebooks in reserve for such cases.

- All projectors in the halls have HDMI inputs. And we will bring HDMI cables. If your notebook does not have an HDMI output or you are using an Apple computer, please bring the necessary adapter with you. Good preparation is half the success.

RESTAURANT & MEALS

- The hotel restaurant is located on level -1.

- the organizer provided meals for all participants (15th = dinner, 16th = lunch and dinner, 17th lunch and dinner, 18th lunch).

- If you are not staying in a conference hotel on the island and want to use one of the meals, you need to go to the One Travel desk to the left of the hotel reception to get a meal voucher.

- We provided free drinks for all participants along with lunch and dinner. Drinks are available at two locations in the restaurant at self-service counters. Feel free to use it as many times as you like.

PRICE LIST OF DRINKS

- In cooperation with Maistra and Island Hotel Istra, we have provided the bars with a special, lower price list for about 30 drinks. A little bit of everything. White and red wine, beers, spirits, soft drinks, and beverages. 

- If there is not a price list for drinks at the conference, lower prices on the table in the lobby or on the terrace, and ask the staff to bring it to you. Our Price list is valid from the 15th to the 18th.

- The hotel offers a significantly larger number of drinks, but at the regular prices of a 4-star hotel.
