Scientific Program - Wednesday
The main conference sessions will be held in the Mason Theatre within building E7B at Macquarie University. Registration, morning and afternoon tea and coffee, and poster sessions will be in the Courtyard in the same building. A large campus map showing the location of building E7B is available here.
All speakers are required to set up their talks during the break prior to their presentation so that we can test each presentation and ensure there are no problems. Student talks are marked with an asterisk.
