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.
