The onsite conference will be held on The Australian National University campus. Registration and the sessions on Monday September 9, Tuesday September 10 and Wednesday September 11 will all be held in the Manning Clark Centre. The “monster networking event” on Sunday September 8 (4-8pm), will be in the Great Hall at University House, where you can also register. More information about these two venues is provided below and you can find them on maps of the ANU campus.

We also provide information on finding the conference venues from your accommodation and the facilities and services (including food outlets) available at The ANU Union Court.
