Weather

• Jerusalem: days around 19 to 22°C (66 to 72°F), nights around 11 to 13°C (52 to 55°F). The city sits in the hills, so evenings are noticeably cooler.
• Tel Aviv: days around 24 to 26°C (75 to 79°F), nights around 14 to 16°C (57 to 61°F), with mild evenings by the sea.
• November is the start of the rainy season, so occasional showers are possible. A light jacket and a small umbrella are useful, especially in Jerusalem.
• These are typical averages for early to mid November. Please check the forecast a few days before you travel.

Badges and passports

• Wear your name badge or conference credentials at all official sessions and events. They are required for identification and access.
• Keep your passport with you throughout the conference. It is required for security screening and entry at certain official venues, and our team will remind you on site ahead of each event where it is needed.
