Workshops will take place across two days of the conference on Monday, July 13 (half-day morning events) and Friday, July 17 (half-day morning and afternoon events). Each workshop is organized as a semi-independent event, and has a unique schedule reflecting the planned activities, constraints and preferences of the organizers. Please check the workshop websites for more details on their particular schedules.
The Location column is read as, for example: CB11.B1.101 (Building 11, Level B1, Room 101). There will be volunteers as well as posters on the day helping with directions.
We will continue updating venues for the poster rooms as we get concrete numbers for posters. Poster boards will be available to mount A0 portrait posters.
For amenities and images of the allocated venue, please access the following link. It is a PDF and you can search for your room number. While this is a comprehensive list, we can't change or request new venues — this is just for your further planning: UTS bookable classrooms (PDF).
