How to find the Conference Location
The best way to get to the conference location is using Uber or other ride apps. Brazil has another app called 99 which is more affordable than Uber but we would recommend Uber as it is more secure. The location has parking so if you're driving it should not be a problem finding a parking space. There is only one auditorium in the venue so it will not be hard to locate it. Casa José de Alencar features three cultural facilities that welcome public visits. These facilities comprise the Arthur Ramos Museum, which highlights historical and cultural artefacts, the Floriano Teixeira Art Gallery, showcasing regional and national artwork, and the Iracema Hall, dedicated to exhibitions and special events. |

How to get to Fortaleza
Flight Options
Alternative Airports
Domestic Connections If you land in other major Brazilian airports (e.g., São Paulo–Guarulhos, Rio de Janeiro–Galeão), you can catch a domestic flight to Fortaleza. Flight frequency is high, so it’s relatively easy to find a suitable connecting flight. Because of its popularity as a tourist destination (famed for its beaches, lively culture, and proximity to other northeastern attractions) Fortaleza is typically well-connected year-round. Always consult airline websites or online travel agencies for up-to-date routes and schedules, as these can change seasonally. CompleNet is taking place during a low season so prices should be more affordable. Getting from the Airport to the City Pinto Martins – Fortaleza International Airport is located just a few miles from the city centre. You can reach central Fortaleza by:

Accommodation
We would like to inform you that we are currently not working with any official hotel, travel agency, or company for the provision of accommodations or travel arrangements. Should we decide to partner with a hotel or travel service in the future, the relevant information will be published here. Please note the following important warning: No one other than the event organizers listed on this site is authorized to speak on behalf of this event. If you are contacted by anyone claiming to represent the conference or offering hotel, travel, or related services, it is definitely unauthorized and should be considered spam. All official communication will come directly from [email protected] or one of the event organizers. We ask that you disregard any such unsolicited contacts and always rely on verified sources for event-related information. We are not working with any specific hotels and attendees are requested to decide the accommodation that best fit their preferences. We recommend people try looking for hotels and information using websites specialised in reviewing hotels such as: The conference venue is not near any major hotels so we do not recommend attendees to stay around that area. There are a few motels around the venue but we do not recommend them for a stay. In Brazil, the concept of a “motel” often differs from what many international travellers might expect. These establishments are traditionally designed for short-term stays, frequently catering to couples seeking privacy, rather than offering the extended lodging services found in typical hotels. This cultural nuance means that motels usually prioritize brief, discreet visits with specialised amenities, rather than serving as long-term accommodations. We kindly recommend doing a bit of research or asking for guidance about the nature of a motel before booking, to ensure it aligns with your needs. By understanding this aspect of Brazilian culture, you can choose accommodations that best match your expectations and avoid any misunderstandings during your stay. Recommended Areas (Neighbourhoods) Fortaleza offers a range of neighbourhoods that are popular for visitors due to their safety, proximity to attractions, and variety of accommodation options. While personal preferences will guide the best choice for each traveller, here are some of the most recommended areas to consider when choosing a hotel: Praia de Iracema A vibrant area known for its beachfront promenade, bars, and restaurants. Staying here places you close to nightlife, cultural sites, and the ocean. It’s a lively neighbourhood with a mix of modern hotels and charming guest houses. Meireles Situated just north of Praia de Iracema, Meireles is one of Fortaleza’s most upscale neighbourhoods. It boasts luxury hotels, shopping areas, and a stunning seaside view along its promenades. It’s ideal for those who want a mix of relaxation, dining options, and proximity to the beach. Aldeota A more residential and tranquil area, Aldeota offers upscale accommodations and is known for its safety, shopping centres, and proximity to restaurants. While not directly on the beach, it provides a quieter environment with good access to other parts of the city via taxi or public transportation. Mucuripe Closer to the port and known for its seafood restaurants, Mucuripe provides a more local experience. While it’s not as touristic as other areas, it can be a good choice for visitors looking for a quieter stay and a taste of local life, albeit with limited hotel options compared to Meireles or Praia de Iracema. Beira Mar Avenue area Along the beachfront, this stretch encompasses parts of Meireles and Iracema and offers numerous hotels with ocean views. It’s excellent for beach goers, food lovers, and those looking to be at the heart of the action. Porto das Dunas A picturesque coastal destination located just a short drive north of Fortaleza, in the municipality of Aquiraz, Ceará, Brazil. Known for its expansive sandy beaches, lush dunes, and clear green waters, it offers a tranquil escape while remaining conveniently close to urban amenities. Note that access from Porto das Dunas is a bit harder, as it is not as well served by Uber and Taxis. Tips for Choosing
Remember that Fortaleza is a large city, so it’s helpful to review recent travel guides, hotel reviews, and maps to select the neighbourhood that best fits your preferences and travel plans during CompleNet |
