FOCS 2025 will take place at the PARKROYAL Darling Harbour<\/a> <\/strong>(150 Day Street, Sydney, NSW 2000), in the heart of Sydney (and less than 30mn from the airport by car or public transit). There are plenty of local restaurants and food options in the area, and within a few minutes’ walk.<\/p>

The IEEE Computing Society has negotiated a special rate of AUD 250\/night (\u2248USD 165) for registered attendees during the conference. Please use this link<\/strong> to book the hotel rooms<\/a>. The last day to book with the discount is November 13, 2025 at 5:00 pm AEST<\/strong><\/a>. (The room block dates are only December 13 \u201319. For dates outside this range, the discount does not<\/strong> apply. To book outside this range, please first book the dates inside this range, and then try modifying the reservation by calling the hotel or on their website)<\/em>.<\/p>

Update (14\/10):<\/strong> All rooms at the negotiated rate have been booked for the first night. If you cannot obtain the discounted rate for your full stay, we suggest booking at that rate for a subset of the nights, and separately for the remaining nights.<\/em><\/p>

There are many other accommodation options near the conference venue; however, <\/span>we encourage you to book early<\/span><\/strong>, as December is the summer touristic season in Sydney.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
