To all I am pleased to announce the venue and the meeting arrangements have been finalized. Brisbane Australia 24-28th September 2012 The location is Queensland University of Technology Kelvin Grove Campus Building E Rooms 305-306 The location is not the city campus as I briefly discussed with people in Geneva but the kelvin grove campus (5 min bus ride from the City on a dedicated bus way) Getting to Brisbane Suggest you get an International flight direct into Brisbane. It saves time as the international Airport is smaller and immigration and customs clearance is easier than in Sydney or Melbourne. There are direct flights from Singapore, Korea, Japan, China and the US. There are 2 flights a day from LA (Qantas and Virgin Australia) and 1 from Dallas/FortWorth (Qantas) . Getting from the Airport to the hotels Can catch the AirTrain to the city http://www.airtrain.com.au/products_cbd.php and hop off at either Central or Roma St stations.
