[Yr7-10it] ACEC2012: Perth 2-5 Oct 2012 Conference Update 28 Aug 2012

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Hi all, apologies for any cross posts,

A wonderful group of friends in Perth are helping to organise and host this conference from 2 to 5th October during our term break. Details below, scroll down. I notice that VITTA members still qualify for an early-bird price and there are some great flight deals still around between Perth and Melbourne (but you have to be quick to snatch these up).  I am flying over to present my first refereed paper "Yeaaay" and help run the unconference on the Tuesday including a world first unconference walkabout tour.

It will be oodles of spring fun and I can introduce anybody going from Melbourne to some flying numbats that have to be seen to be believed!

Regards Roland
