One suggestion for Beijing where the level of English with bus/taxi drivers etc will be low maybe to publish a page linked from the main meeting page with something like "Can you please take me to the Shangri-La Hotel" in Chinese so attendees can just print it out and hand it to the driver when they land at the airport (although a quick search reveals many free online translators I suspect this could catch a few people out).
This is what I always do when I travel to China: Ask a colleague to send me an email with the name *and* address of the hotel, or the meeting place. I print this and take it with me to show the taxi driver so he knows where to go. For this meeting it could be put as a page on the meeting website for everybody to print. Also note the following: always take one of the green/yellow colored taxis (if you want to pay the normal rate). http://autonews.gasgoo.com/resource/editor/taxi.jpg At the airport go to the taxirank outside and take one of these taxis. *DON't* be fooled by the crowd inside the terminal that tries to offer you taxi ride .
