Although IWOPS IV is being planned as an in-person event, we continue to monitor the COVID epidemic and will adjust plans as needed. For this reason, we ask you to check back here often for updates and delay making any hotel and travel reservations until we confirm our workshop will take place as planned.
Please note that all travel and accommodation costs are the responsibility of each participant.
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
We are excited to hold the 4th International Workshop on Participatory Surveillance in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Ending Pandemics has secured a block of rooms at a group rate at what we consider one of finest hotels in this vibrant city and can accommodate all participants. Centrally located, it is known for taking the utmost care of its patrons when it comes to following health and safety protocols, which was a primary concern when choosing our location. All workshop activities will take place at this venue.
Please note that the hotel only allows changes or cancellations to room reservations on the same day you make your reservation. After that, all room reservations are final and non-refundable. It is also for that reason we ask you to delay making your reservations.
Thank you for your patience as we navigate through these uncertain times.
