Venue and Accessibility
Venue
The hui will be located at the Central Auckland campus of AUT. All plenary sessions will be held in the Conference Centre, located on the ground floor of the WG Building, which is accessible through the main entrance. In workshop sessions that require breakout spaces, the Conference Centre will be divided into two spaces and two additional rooms, WF403 and WF404, will be used. These are located on the fourth floor of the WF building.
