DESTINATION AND HOTEL

Hanoi, Vietnam

Vietnam’s capital city is a harmonious blend of rich history, elegant French architecture, serene lakes, and a dynamic street culture. Hanoi provides the ideal backdrop for a conference that’s equal parts strategic, immersive, and unforgettable.

JW Marriott Hotel Hanoi

Enjoy the perfect setting for the Check Point APAC Partner Executive Conference 2025 at the JW Marriott Hotel Hanoi — a modern luxury hotel located beside a serene lake and minutes from the city’s business and cultural districts.

With expansive meeting spaces, elegant design, and five-star service, the hotel offers the ideal environment for focused discussions, meaningful networking, and memorable hospitality — all under one roof.

TRAVELLING TO VIETNAM

Passport Validity

Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date.

Visa Requirements

Most visitors to Vietnam will require a visa. We recommend checking the visa requirements based on your nationality well in advance.

Travel Insurance

We recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover medical expenses, trip cancellations, baggage, and any unforeseen circumstances.

Currency

Vietnam’s local currency is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). While most major credit cards are accepted in hotels and larger establishments, cash is recommended for taxis, markets, and smaller local vendors. ATMs and currency exchange services are widely available throughout Hanoi.

Weather

September in Hanoi is generally warm and pleasant, with lower humidity and less rain than peak summer months. Light showers are still possible, so we recommend packing breathable clothing and a light umbrella.
