All plenaries and teas (as well as the Welcome Reception) will be held in the Owen G. Glen buildings. The primary room for the plenary talks is the Fisher & Pakel Auditorium 260-115 with an overflow to the adjacent room 260-098.

For the special sessions we will utilise rooms in three clusters, in Owen G. Glen, in Engineering and in Science. The map below (download a pdf version) summarises the clusters for special sessions. You can see the room allocations for each session either in the session schedule or in the room summary on the top level program page.

Each of the rooms has an on-site computer running Windows, screens to display slides and whiteboards. You can either present slides from the on-site computer or connect your laptop into the AV system. If you are planning to connect your laptop we recommend that you also bring a PDF version of their talk slides as a backup.

Not all session rooms are in use everyday. The following table summarises which rooms will be empty for each special session slot. You can use the empty rooms to practise connecting your device to the UoA system (the room tech is similar in all rooms).
