Each lecture theatre is equipped with a desktop computer running Windows, with
mouse, keyboard, USB ports, and Internet connection. There is also a fixed
data projector (connected to the desktop) and a projection screen. There are
also blackboards.
We strongly encourage you to bring your talk in the form of a PDF document.
You may bring it on a USB storage device or email it to the organisers. Please
make sure that your talk is copied onto the desktop computer before your talk.
The desktop in the lecture theatre can display Powerpoints documents but we
cannot guarantee that all fonts are available. Note that postscript files cannot
be displayed. If you require access to other software packages or other audio-visual equipments
please talk to the organizers well in advance to see whether it can be arranged.
It is possible to connect your personal laptop to the data projector, but we
prefer that you avoid this option due to the tight conference schedule. If you
insist, please contact the organizers to test the connection well before your
presentation.

Wireless Internet access is available for all participants through the UNIWIDE
network. Upon registration you will receive a personal login and password with

Travel
If you are coming to the conference from overseas you will almost
certainly need a visa unless you are an Australian or New Zealand resident.
However, if you come from a list of approved countries you can apply for
an Electronic Travel Authority through a travel agent or online, without
having to give up your passport. The
Immigration Department website
gives all necessary information. Its advice is to apply for a visa at
least 4 to 6 weeks before departure.
To travel from the airport to the university, you can take the 400 bus.
The trip takes around one hour and costs about 5 AUD. If you take a taxi the fare
will be about 30-35 AUD.
To travel around Sydney metropolitan area, you need a bus/train ticket. For more information,
