Special Feature: Tech-Talk Lounge What is it and how will it work?
There were a number of
excellent technical abstracts submitted for the conference which were not
able to be included as presentations during theTech-Talk
concurrent sessions (Session T1 or T2 on the program) .
We have invited the authors of selected technical abstracts to submit a full
paper for inclusion in a technical supplement booklet which will be given
toall delegates
in their conference satchel.
At the Conference, a lounge space will be set up at the main conference location
called the Tech-Talk Lounge.Delegates
will be able to make appointments with the authors of the Tech-Talk
papers (via appointment board) to meet in the lounge to discuss their work
with the author, either one-to-one, or in small groups.
The main Tech-Talk lounge sessions will be held during morning tea, lunchand afternoon tea on the Tuesday and Thursday of the Conference (or at any other convenient time arranged by the Tech-Talk author and thedelegate.
Our Tech-Talk Lounge Coordinator will assist delegates to make appointments. The Tech-Talk Lounge will provide a space for the sharing of informationof a more technical nature at the conference. It will also allow authors to have a paper published in the public domain, as part of the conference andpromoted on the conference website and the conference proceedings.
