Price excludes;

  • Public transport* costs to/from the conference dinner

* The most efficient way to get around Melbourne city is by Tram. There is a Tram stop very close to the conference venue, and we will be using the tram to get to the Conference dinner.

It is recommended that conference attendees purchase a myki card (and top it up) when they arrive in Melbourne, so that they can use it during their stay. Note that there is also a myki Visitor Pack. Of course conference attendees are welcome to use taxis (or alternative transportation methods), if the Tram is not suitable for their situation. In some cases, for example if several people are travelling together to/from the conference dinner venue, a taxi may work out cheaper than the tram.
