To reach the conference hotel (Puteri Pacific Johor Bahru Hotel), you may refer to the information available at http://www.puteripacific.com and
http://wikitravel.org/en/Johor_Bahru.
Please note that the conference hotel (Puteri Pacific Hotel) is next to/within walking distance from the Kotaraya Bus Terminal and JB Sentral Station. The Malaysian Immigration Checkpoint or Customs is just beside JB Sentral Station.

1. From Senai Airport (Johor Bahru):
   
   • By bus:
     Take the Causeway Link airport express shuttle bus from the airport to JB Sentral Station (http://www.causewaylink.com.my/airport-non-airasia). From JB Sentral Station, you can walk to Puteri Pacific Hotel. Alternatively, you can take the SkyBus shuttle bus to Puteri Pacific Hotel (http://skybus.com.my/skybus-johor-bahru/). Tickets cost RM8 one-way and the journey time is about 40 minutes.
   • By Taxi:
     Taxis leaving from the airport operate on a coupon system. Buy your coupon from the taxi counter located on the Ground Floor of the airport. A trip to Puteri Pacific Hotel is RM45 for up to 4 passengers. Journey time is about 30 minutes.
2. From Changi International Airport (Singapore):
   
   • By bus:
     • Option 1: Take the Transtar Cross Border Service TS1 minibus (24 passengers). The service starts at the coach stands at Terminals 1, 2 & 3 at Changi Airport and terminates at Kotaraya Bus Terminal. The one-way fare from Changi Airport to Johor Bahru is S$7 for adults and S$3.50 for children. The first bus leaves Changi Airport for Johor Bahru at 8.15am, with the last departure at Changi Airport is scheduled at 11:15pm. http://www.changiairport.com/getting-around/to-and-from-the-airport/coach-to-johor-bahru-malaysia
     • Option 2: At Changi airport, walk to its subway/MRT station. Take the MRT and go to either the Kranji station or Woodlands station. (http://www.smrt.com.sg/Trains/NetworkMap.aspx) .The cost is S$2.20 and it takes about 70 minutes. After alighting from the Kranji station or Woodlands station, take SBS Transit public (non-express) bus (No. 160 or 170) (http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/index.aspx) or Causeway Link bus (No. CW1) (http://www.causewaylink.com.my/singapore-bus) to reach Johor Bahru.
     Please note that for both options, all buses make one stop each at Singapore immigration checkpoint and at Malaysian immigration checkpoint. At both immigration points, you must disembark with all your luggage and pass through immigration control and customs, and then board the next bus by showing your ticket. At times, there might be long queues at the immigration check points. If you miss the bus you take, you need to wait for the next bus of the same number/route (160, 170 or CW1). It is usually fine to ask other travellers/commuters/ uniformed bus operators should the need arise.
   • By Taxi: Only specially licensed taxis are allowed to operate across the border, and they are available at Queen Street Terminal in Bugis (http://wikitravel.org/en/Singapore/Bugis). So, from Changi airport, you need to take a regular taxi to Queen Street terminal. This may cost about S$20. At the Queen Street taxi terminal, find the booth to queue/take the taxi to Johor Bahru. The ‘basic’ direct taxi service from this terminal to the Kotaraya Bus terminal costs S$10 per person or S$40 per car. The main advantage of doing this, as opposed to just taking a bus, is that you don’t need to lug your stuff (or yourself) through Customs at both ends; you can just sit in the car. This service is also available 24 hours a day, unlike the bus.
3. From Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA):
   From KLIA, take a domestic flight to Johor Bahru (Senai Airport) and follow the options described above.

At this terminal, take an express bus to Johor Bahru. The travelling time to Johor Bahru is about 4 to 4.5 hours and there are plenty of bus operators to choose from.
