Hostelworld.com Conference 2012

Welcome to the 2012 Hostelworld Conference

As you all know the format of the Hostelworld.com conference and HOSCARS was slightly different in 2011. We have spoken to quite a few of you and based on your feedback we hope to take the best elements of the 2011 event and incorporate these with the best parts of previous events to make the 2012 Conference as beneficial and enjoyable for you as possible.

What does this mean to you?

• The Hostelworld.com Conference and Hoscars will be held on Monday 6th February in Dublin's new world class purpose-built international conference and event venue.
