Conference Arrangements

All presentations will take place in the Athlone Skinner Conference Room of the Francis Stock Building, at the Howard College Campus of the University of Natal, Durban. All presentations are to be held in plenary, and are 80 minutes long. Papers should ideally last 40-50 minutes, leaving the remaining time for discussion.

The Francis Stock Building is the first structure on your right, after you enter the main university gates. The conference room is on the ground floor. Registration on the first day (and tea/coffee breaks) will take place in the Foyer of the conference room.

There will no longer be a conference registration fee.

For getting around in Durban, if you are not hiring a car, we suggest Eagle Taxis. To request a cab, call the local Durban number 33 78 333. To get to right part of the University of Natal (given that it has multiple campuses) the optimal destination to specify is "Howard College, Main entrance". Taxis can drive right onto the campus, saving having to deal with the access control system. (Most delegates are accommodated in places where more than one person from the conference is staying. It should be easy to share taxis to and from the conference venue.)

At registration on Monday delegates will be provided with the details of local restaurants (all close to the University and the places at which most delegates have been accommodated) at which tables have been booked for the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. No-one is, of course, obliged to follow these arrangements, but we’d appreciate it if you could let us know if you aren’t coming on any given evening, or if you would like to bring anyone else along, so that we can revise the bookings accordingly.
