Venue

The conference will be held on campus at Macquarie University.
Macquarie University campus is located at North Ryde, approx. 15kms northwest of Sydney CBD and 20kms from Sydney airport.  See:

• a map of the campus (including parking information)

In a car or taxi, it is approximately 30 minutes from the CBD outside of peak hour, but Sydney traffic can complicate the journey.

Public transport

The University is serviced by public transport links from the city (approximately 40 minutes) and surrounding suburbs. Currently this consists of buses, however a new railway station is scheduled to open in July 2008 with services from Epping and Chatswood railways stations (For more information about the project refer to the TIDC site). The University is also within walking distance of the Macquarie Centre (shopping centre).
