Main Conference Venue
All sessions, training, and event activities will take place at the Four Seasons Resort Marrakech, which serves as the central hotel for the Hästens 10X in Action Global Business Meeting.
Because we could not accommodate all participants in one location, some guests are staying at the Pestana CR7 Marrakech, located just a short walk from the Four Seasons.

⚠️ If your passport has less than 3 months remaining, Moroccan border control may deny entry.

Hästens will not cover or arrange any transfers.

• Temperatures: Daytime highs of 24°C–29°C (75°F–84°F) and nighttime lows of 14°C–18°C (57°F–64°F).
