Getting to Queenstown
Queenstown is a picturesque town located in the south island of New Zealand. For Australian delegates, direct flights are available from the east coast of Australia to Queenstown in July, with Air New Zealand, Virgin (Pacific Blue) and Qantas all servicing this route, however direct flight options are not daily. (Check Air New Zealand for special offers).

Once you fly into Queenstown, we are seeking to organise Jet Boat Taxis (approximate price $60) to Rydges Hotel. If you are interested please let us know. This service will only be available if we have sufficient numbers on the same flight so you will need to send us your travel details.

Current taxis are available at:
Thursday 21 July, 2pm (flight arrival)
Thursday 21 July, 3.30pm (flight arrival)

Accommodation
We have arranged accommodation packages at the conference facility, the Rydges Lakeland Resort, where delegates can secure accommodation at a discounted rate of NZ$175 per night for a twin/double room, for the week of the conference. There are several rooms available (as of 9 June 2011). Call Rydges reservations on +64 3 442 7600.

Other accommodations include Peppers (+64 3 441 0890) larger apartments next to Rydges and the St Moritz Hotel (+64 3 442 4990) also close to the conference venue.

Conference Sessions & Social functions
Official conference sessions will commence on Friday 22 July and conclude on Saturday 23 July. There will be dinner functions on the Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as informal pre-conference drinks on the Thursday evening, 21 July. We recommend delegates arrive early or stay on after the conference to enjoy some of the spectacular attractions of Queenstown.
