Social Events
Registration and Opening Reception
There will be a reception to open the conference on Sunday night in the Macquarie Room of the Macquarie Graduate School of Management Hotel on campus, following registration.
Parking at MGSM is free to those attending the ASA reception (map). Enter the university at the roundabout on Talavera Road and turn right. To enter the parking lot, you will need to pass through a boom gate on the left--if you do not pass through this gate, you may end up parking somewhere liable to incur a parking fine.
Conference Dinner
As an important part of the conference, the conference dinner is included in the registration fee. The dinner is to be held on Wednesday July 4th, from 7:00pm to 11:30pm, and will include the announcements of student prizes. Please ensure that you indicate any special dietary requirements on your registration form at the time of completion.
The venue for the dinner is Curzon Hall, located at the corner of Agincourt and Balaclava Roads in Marsfield (map). Curzon Hall is a magnificent 19th Century Manor, set on three acres of manicured gardens.
Curzon Hall is located within walking distance to the university (20 minutes), or delegates can take the 545 or 544 buses from the southern bus stop on University Road. The conference organisers are looking into providing a bus to and from the university to the conference dinner; please indicate on the registration form if you would like to take advantage of this.
Guests
Guests are welcome to attend the conference dinner at a cost of $90 per guest. Please indicate on the registration form if you intend to bring a guest with you.
