Transfer from airport to hotel

Long Beach is about a 30 min. drive away from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). We recommend you take a taxi (or Uber) rather than public transportation.

Hygiene and safety measures

UICC is dedicated to creating a safe and healthy environment for all attendees at the Summit. The organisation is fully committed to adhering to all regulations and guidelines set forth by U.S. authorities in relation to large gatherings.

UICC strongly advises any participants who are feeling unwell to wear a mask or stay home to protect their fellow colleagues and help prevent the spread of diseases during the congress. Masks are available upon request for those in need. Additionally, there will be disinfection stations positioned throughout the venue, and disinfection teams will regularly clean surfaces during the event.

Sustainability

UICC aims to minimize the event's detrimental effect on the environment by employing various strategies. We urge all attendees to fly conscientiously and contribute to a program that offsets carbon emissions.
