The venue of the 2009 CIBJO Congress in Istanbul, Turkey, has been shifted to the Sheraton Istanbul Ataköy Hotel. The event is slated to be held from May 3 to May 5, 2009. The intent of CIBJO was to host as many people as it could at the Congress, and this prompted the relocation of the venue to a more affordable place, as the Sheraton. %% The hotel is well accessible to those traveling into the region. For the convenience of those interested in registering for the Congress, CIBJO has created a dedicated 2009 CIBJO Congress website.
