Plan your trip

Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Kuala Lumpur International
to venue
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
3-star property with a 4.4 rating in captured results; free Wi-Fi, free parking, breakfast and an airport shuttle are listed. Rate converted approximately from about INR 1,861 per night.
3-star, 4.5 rating, bar and restaurant on site; captured with a 24% discount badge. Approximate USD conversion, confirm at booking.
Approximate district-level band, not a named property: KL Sentral hotels cost more but put you on the KLIA Ekspres and LRT interchange, which simplifies the airport run and city trips. Confirm current rates.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
train
Non-stop airport rail link, roughly 28-33 minutes; the captured service showed about 32 minutes dep-arr. Confirm live fares and timetable before travel.
train
Approximate band, confirm live fares: the stopping service is cheaper than the non-stop Ekspres but takes longer and calls at Salak Tinggi, Putrajaya/Cyberjaya and Bandar Tasik Selatan.
metro
Approximate band, confirm live fares: Rapid KL rail is the cheapest way to move between Chinatown, KLCC and Bukit Bintang. Pay with a Touch 'n Go card or contactless bank card.
bus
Approximate band, confirm with the operator: airport coaches are the budget option but slower and more traffic-sensitive than rail, so allow extra buffer on 10 December.
taxi
Approx. 52-55 km and 45-60 minutes via the ELITE/KLIA Expressway; night surcharges and luggage may apply. Confirm the fare at the airport taxi counter before boarding.
rideshare
Grab is the dominant app in Kuala Lumpur; use the designated e-hailing pickup point at the terminal and check the quoted fare in-app before confirming.
car
Approx. 52-55 km, 45-60 minutes depending on traffic. Malaysian highways are toll-based; keep a Touch 'n Go card in the car for toll plazas.
parking
Approximate band, confirm with the venue: hotel conference car parks in Kuala Lumpur typically charge per entry or per day, with validation possible at the concierge. Spaces tighten during weekday office hours and December holiday weekends.
Weather
December is Kuala Lumpur's monsoon peak: warm and humid with frequent heavy afternoon or evening thunderstorms, roughly 23-32 C and high humidity. All sessions run indoors at AC Hotel by Marriott, but a downpour can add 15-30 minutes to road transfers from KLIA or across the city, so keep a buffer before the 10 December opening and carry a compact umbrella.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Malaysian prepaid SIM cards (Maxis, CelcomDigi, U Mobile) are sold at KLIA arrival halls and city malls, and eSIM plans are widely available if you prefer to activate before flying. Meeting venues in Kuala Lumpur normally provide Wi-Fi in conference rooms, but confirm coverage and any guest password with the secretariat. Power is 240 V at 50 Hz with UK-style Type G three-pin sockets, so bring a universal adapter for laptops and endoscopy demo kit. Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay and contactless cards are accepted almost everywhere; keep a little cash (MYR) for small vendors.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business dress and greetings
Kuala Lumpur's medical meetings are smart-casual to business formal: collared shirts and a light jacket for men, business dress or a modest blouse and trousers or skirt for women, with a layer for strong air conditioning. Handshakes are common, but let Malaysian counterparts initiate with women; use titles such as Dr or Professor until invited otherwise.
Language and currency
Bahasa Malaysia is the official language, and English is widely spoken in Kuala Lumpur's hospitals, hotels and conference venues, so sessions and exhibitor conversations usually run in English. The currency is the Malaysian ringgit (MYR); cards and mobile wallets are accepted in most outlets, with small cash purchases at street markets and some taxis.
Halal dining and food culture
Islam is the majority religion, so halal certification is displayed at most restaurants and hotel kitchens. Alcohol is served in licensed hotel bars and some non-halal outlets but is not part of the everyday dining scene; vegetarian and Indian options are plentiful in Chinatown, Brickfields and Little India if you are catering for mixed dietary needs.
Prayer times and daily rhythm
The call to prayer is audible across central Kuala Lumpur five times a day, and Friday midday prayers can slow traffic around mosques between roughly 12:15 and 14:30. Schedule external meetings and airport transfers outside that window where you can, and expect the exhibition floor to be busiest in the mid-morning and post-lunch breaks.
Punctuality, tipping and monsoon logistics
Professional meetings generally start on time, so arrive at the session room a few minutes early. Service charges are often included in restaurant and hotel bills and tipping is not expected, though rounding up is appreciated. Between December downpours, taxis and e-hailing cars can be hard to find at short notice, so book rides 15-20 minutes ahead.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: KUL
Captured Google Flights results for 10 December 2026 departures quoted round-trip economy fares in MYR including taxes for one adult. Nonstop Gulf capacity is strong: Emirates DXB-KUL at about 7 hours 5 minutes, or Oman Air via Muscat at about 10 hours 55 minutes for a lower fare. From Europe, one-stop routings such as London via Bahrain and Singapore came in at roughly 22 hours; from New York the fastest captured option routed via Istanbul at about 28 hours 45 minutes; Sydney nonstop with Malaysia Airlines or Qantas runs under 9 hours, and Tokyo Narita nonstop with ZIPAIR about 7 hours 50 minutes. Kuala Lumpur International (KUL) is the long-haul gateway, with Subang (SZB) useful for domestic connections. Book several months ahead for December, cross-check the KLIA Ekspres timetable against your landing time, and remember that low-cost carriers price baggage separately.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Kuala Lumpur International (KUL). Allow road or rail time to AC Hotel by Marriott; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near AC Hotel by Marriott: Kepong, Kuala Lumpur: Kepong, Kuala Lumpur; Kuala Lumpur city: Kuala Lumpur city; Kuala Lumpur city: Kuala Lumpur city.
Ride-hail: Grab is the dominant ride-hailing app in Kuala Lumpur, with AirAsia Ride, MyCar and inDrive as secondary options; download and register before you fly so you can book immediately after landing. At Kuala Lumpur International (KUL) use the signed e-hailing pickup area rather than the kerbside taxi rank, and check the quoted price and vehicle plate in the app. A KUL-to-city trip is roughly MYR 65-100 depending on surge, and short city hops in the venue district are usually MYR 8-20. During the December monsoon, request cars 15-20 minutes earlier than you would otherwise and wait under cover.
Public transit: Kuala Lumpur's rail network covers the conference trip well. The KLIA Ekspres runs non-stop from KLIA Terminal 1 to KL Sentral in about 30 minutes (captured fare MYR 55.01), while the cheaper KLIA Transit stops at Salak Tinggi, Putrajaya/Cyberjaya and Bandar Tasik Selatan before KL Sentral. From KL Sentral the LRT Kelana Jaya line, the MRT Putrajaya line and the monorail connect to Chinatown (Pasar Seni), Bukit Bintang and KLCC, and KTM Komuter serves Subang and Kepong. Single city rides are roughly MYR 2-6, paid with a Touch 'n Go card or contactless bank card at the gates. Trains are the quickest way to bypass monsoon traffic, but allow extra time for station walks with luggage on arrival day.
Parking: AC Hotel by Marriott, Kuala Lumpur and comparable city hotels provide on-site or basement car parks for guests and conference delegates, typically charged per entry or per day at roughly MYR 5-15; confirm the rate, validation policy and whether the conference rate differs from the hotel guest rate at the concierge. Spaces tighten during weekday office hours and December holiday weekends, so arrive 30 minutes before your first session if you drive. Parking is not guaranteed for day delegates, and the LRT, MRT or a Grab is usually cheaper than a full day of city parking.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: December 2026 (northeast monsoon season)
Temperature: Approx. 23-32 C, with overnight lows near 23-24 C and mid-afternoon highs around 31-32 C; humidity is high year-round in Kuala Lumpur and often sits above 80% at dawn. These are climatological December bands - check the daily forecast in the week before travel.
Seasonality: December sits inside Malaysia's northeast monsoon and is one of Kuala Lumpur's wetter months, with roughly 200-250 mm of rain spread over many days and a pattern of short, intense afternoon and evening thunderstorms rather than all-day drizzle. Mornings are often the driest window for outdoor movement. Indoor sessions at AC Hotel by Marriott are unaffected, but allow extra transfer time when storms hit around 15:00-19:00.
Packing: Pack light, breathable business clothing plus a jacket or shawl for heavily air-conditioned session rooms, and two pairs of shoes so one can dry after a soaking. Bring a compact umbrella or packable rain shell, a dry bag for electronics, a refillable water bottle, and a Type G adapter for 240 V sockets. Add sunscreen and insect repellent if you plan evening walks or a post-conference trip outside the city, and keep your poster tube or printed materials in a waterproof sleeve.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at 16th World Endoscopy, GI Conference & Exhibition usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Lock in your registration tier: Delegate/Listener Package USD 249 or 1 Day Entry USD 125 in the captured fee table, plus the 30 CME/CPD Credits option (USD 250) if you need points for the 10-11 December sessions. Save the receipt and confirmation email.
Reserve a room early in Chinatown, KLCC/Bukit Bintang or KL Sentral. December is peak holiday season in Kuala Lumpur, and the budget 3-star properties captured for this listing run about USD 18-35 a night.
Book flights into Kuala Lumpur International (KUL) and check that your landing time leaves at least three hours before your first session. KLIA Ekspres to KL Sentral takes about 30 minutes; a taxi or Grab takes 45-60 minutes.
Draft your agenda from the schedule page: mark the ERCP, EUS, colorectal screening and therapeutic endoscopy sessions you cannot miss, and note any hands-on or workshop slots that need separate sign-up.
If you are presenting, finalise your abstract, poster or slide deck under the Speaker/Poster Package (USD 299) and ask the secretariat for file format, poster dimensions and upload deadlines.
Arrange the airport-to-hotel leg: buy a KLIA Ekspres ticket (MYR 55.01 captured fare) or pre-load Grab, and add a payment card before departure.
Submit the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online within three days of arrival, check your passport has at least six months validity, and save your hotel confirmation for immigration.
Pack for monsoon Kuala Lumpur: light business attire, a layer for air-conditioned halls, a compact umbrella, fast-drying shoes and a Type G plug adapter for 240 V sockets.
Confirm the venue address and registration desk hours with the organiser, tell the hotel if you arrive late, and screenshot your registration confirmation or QR code for check-in.
Set up note-taking and follow-up: business cards for the exhibition area, a charged tablet for sessions, and the attendance record you need if you are claiming CME credits.
Arrive at AC Hotel by Marriott 30-45 minutes before the opening session on 10 December, collect your badge, and walk the session rooms and exhibition space before the first talk starts.
