The main conference sessions will be held in the Webster Theatre within the Veterinary Science Conference Centre at the University of Sydney. Registration, morning and afternoon tea and coffee, and poster sessions will be in the Pfizer Foyer in the same building. There will be an opening reception held on the evening of Sunday 4 July, also in the Pfizer Foyer. A large campus map showing the location of the Veterinary Science Conference Centre is available here. The Conference Centre is at E7.

Speakers are advised that PowerPoint or PDF presentations can be made using their own laptop or a computer installed in the lecture theatre. The lecture theatre computer is a PC running Windows XP Pro. The version of PowerPoint is 2002, SP-2, and the version of Adobe Reader (for PDF) is 6.0. Talks may be transferred to this PC using CD-ROM or USB memory stick. The lecture theatre also has an overhead projector and 35mm slide projection facilities.

All conference attendees are invited to contribute talks. Note that non-members of the ASA are welcome to present, but the ASA expects presenters to be members if this is not their first ASM.

The talks can take one of these formats:

1. Invited talks are 20 mins. talks
2. 20 minutes talks, including questions, i.e., 15+5
3. 15 minutes talks, including questions, i.e., 12+3
4. 10 minutes talks, including questions, i.e., 8+2 (we will try to allocate the majority of these talks to the Wednesday afternoon session).

If you wish to contribute a talk please indicate this on the registration form, giving the name of the talk and a brief abstract. We will try to accommodate all requests for talks, but if there are insufficient timeslots, some requests for a talk may be assigned to a poster session.

All speakers are encouraged to submit papers to the Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia (PASA).
