Conference Venue

Revise will be held at the University of Wollongong, in Wollongong, NSW in the Communications Building, Building 20, in Lecture Hall 5 (20.5). From the bus stop, go straight down the ramp, past the car park, and down another ramp. Building 20 is directly across from the Library and Panizzi's Cafe. A registration table is set up directly outside 20.5 with nametags and conference booklets and will be staffed during breaks and lunch. For full details about the campus please see the University website: http://www.uow.edu.au. A campus map of UOW may be viewed at http://www.uow.edu.au/about/campusmap/index.html.

Getting to UOW

For those arriving by train, you will need to get off at North Wollongong Station. There is a bus stop at the train station with a free shuttle to the University, Route 9 (North Gong Shuttle). It is designed to connect with the train services at that station. Please see the complete schedule here: http://www.uow.edu.au/content/groups/public/@web/@bg/documents/doc/uow072724.pdf.

For anyone coming from town or the Medina Hotel, Wollongong operates a free bus, called the Gong Shuttle, which travels around the city both clockwise (the 55A) and counter-clockwise (the 55C). It can be picked up any bus stop marked with a bright green ―Free Gong Shuttle‖ post, and travels between the University and the conference accommodation at the Medina Hotel on Market Street. Take the 55C to the University, and the 55A back to the Hotel. The free bus runs from 7am – 10pm, Monday – Friday and 8am – 6pm on weekends.
