There are many regular bus routes that go via Macquarie University from a range of locations. In order to check what bus number is best for you, trips can be planned via the use of the NSW transport website.

Please note that the Macquarie University train station will be unavailable during the ASPP conference as it is being renovated from September 2018 onwards. Additional high-speed bus services from multiple train stations have been planned.

If you plan to use public transport during your stay in Sydney, an Opal card is the most convenient way to pay for your trips.

Taxis and Uber will take you to Macquarie, though be advised that it is quite far by road from the central business district.  Macquarie Park and surrounds are also served by the new Keoride shuttle system. Parking Permits will be available for on-campus parking during the conference as well.

For Presenters

For speakers, rooms will have A/V equipment available, including a computer. Presenters can bring their own laptops if they must but it will all flow better if they load them on the one computer in the room.

We will provide poster boards for the poster session. Posters should be A0 size. The American Psychological Association provides useful information about poster formatting. For philosophers unaccustomed to presenting posters, this discussion at Daily Nous has some useful tips.
