All EME conference and accommodation bookings at the Top Hotel made after 01.01.2020 to date remain valid.
Last week we had a meeting with the operations department of Top Hotel PRAHA, where we clarified all the information on accommodation for the participants of the International EME Conference 2022 in Prague 12 – 14 August 2022. The hotel management kept the same price offer for accommodation in „Executive SUPERIOR“ rooms. Order accommodation by clicking on the registration and at the bottom of the accommodation reservation. There is a downloadable form on the page. When ordering, please quote the password " EME2020" If you are unsure, you can contact the accommodation department directly by phone +420 – 267284260 or by email revenue@tophotel.cz The last date for booking this form is 15.7.2022. If you are interested in another form of booking, you can use Booking.com or Hotels.com web. However, there is no guaranteed price. However, you can also book the cheaper „Standard“ version of the accommodation through these sites. For the rooms in our reservation you have the hotel's wellness centre included in the price.

More information regarding the accompanying trips in next week's newsletter.

As new participants are registering for the conference, We are summarizing some information here – 17/05/2022

Several of our EME friends had to cancel their planned participation in the conference for various reasons.
The economic situation in the world and in OK is changing day by day, but we are still working to provide 100% of everything we need.
The organizing team is now again, for the third time, finalizing all parts of the conference and we hope that nothing will prevent the conference from taking place on the date indicated.
The COVID situation has calmed down.
Czech airlines have resumed direct flights between the Czech Republic and the United States of America.
Franta OK1CA will have all the prices for the transport of the accompanying programs agreed next week.
For now, the hotel is keeping the same prices as in 2020.
In the next days we will specify further details.
To date, we have 130 registered conference participants.

Please stay tuned, we will post further information on registration and participation here in the coming days. Thank you for your understanding.

Appearance of the site its header and original information about EME conference 2020 are unchangeable, because as you know our web master and friend Petr OK1AXH SK. We don't have the source code to fix the current look and we don't have the capacity to create a new site. Therefore, the look is as it is, but the information will still be fresh. Thanks for understanding.

The new date of the conference has been set for

12.th – 14.th of August 2022

Welcome to all visitors of the Prague 2022 EME conference website. As you know, the COVID pandemic has moved us two years forward and we are currently facing another problem and that is the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the war conflict that Eastern Europe is currently experiencing. We are working to complete and resume all the planned events according to the conference schedule. At the moment we are still waiting to see what will happen with prices as everything has increased dramatically in price over the last few months. Fuel alone has gone from 34 CZK to 48 CZK per litre of petrol and that is an increase of about 0.5 USD to date. We are working on the conference and will continue to keep you updated via our website. Thank you for your understanding.

Information on the EME conference 2020 in Prague II. 12. – 14.08.2022

Hello EME gang,

I'm calling in after a long time. I'm just about to finish the isolation after COVID19. Thank God I didn't catch him until after the first dose of vaccination, and my doctor had Bamvilibimab put in the next day, but I still had a week of fever and felt like a whipped dog. At present, I can do an hour or two of concentrated work and then I have to rest. But I hope it will be better next week. That's just to start off, that Chinese crap might be a problem.

In terms of EME 2020. Considering all things, the EME 2020 team proposes one more move up to 2022. There are several things that lead us to this proposal.

1 – the hotels will only open gradually from June and according to the operating lady from the Top Hotel, there is no certainty that they will operate at 100% in August

2 – travel and COVID mutations. There is currently a problem with the Indian mutation. It may look like Pfizer is working on it, but from the point of view of many countries, it's not sure how it's going to be in the summer with travel

3 – the same situation for airlines, the US still has not allowed free travel to the EU. Same with AU.

4 – earlier today, doubts began to arise about the Tokyo Olympics. The same problems as above and this has different means available to the Olympic team than our EME2020 team.

5 – population vaccination coverage at 75% is not expected until autumn 2021

Another problem that is starting to emerge after the loosening up is a price increase of 15–20% in restaurants and services. I'm sure you watch it in your countries, too. But that will be a question when we discuss all the services ordered. The hotel is holding the line.

Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you in 2022. We still think it makes sense to organise such conferences in such a way that personal meetings and joint discussions can take place.

More details on our EME conference web soon.

Your comments are welcome.
