People First - Serving Our Stakeholders

8-11 December 2004, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand

Notes for Attendees (as at 26th November)

Arrival Information

Welcome to the 18th Annual Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Management. The information on this web page is intended to assist you in your preparations for the conference, and to let you know what to expect when you arrive.

What to bring

The Conference falls in the first month of a New Zealand summer. The average maximum temperature for December in Dunedin is 17.5º C (63.5ºF) and the minimum average is 10.1ºC (50.1ºF). The weather at this time of year is most often very mild; however, having said that it is possible to experience four seasons in one day here!

Some suggestions

- For the Conference Dinner we ask that you dress 'smart-casual.'
- We recommend that you bring some sunscreen as the New Zealand sun can be very intense. If you're planning to do some hiking or tramping here, it is probably a good idea to take some insect repellent (not necessary in and around the city).
- A light raincoat or windbreaker may be useful if the weather is not as we would hope.

Arrival at Dunedin Airport

Dunedin Airport is approximately 30 minutes from the City Centre. We will station members of our team at the Airport to assist you in arranging travel to the city upon your arrival. They will be holding an ANZAM sign and will be looking out for ANZAM participants.

You have the option of taking either a taxi or a shuttle bus (5-10 seats) into the city. We recommend shuttle buses as they are substantially cheaper at approx. $15 NZD depending on numbers. Taxis will cost around $60 - $70 NZD. There is also a great likelihood that other people in the shuttle will be ANZAM participants and will be travelling to the same accommodations.

In the case that you do not see our team members, please look for a taxi or shuttle bus parked at the front of the Airport building. If you don't see a taxi or shuttle, you can call Dunedin Taxis on 477 7777 or City Taxis at 477 1771.

Please note that the taxi and shuttle bus fares are NOT included in the delegate's fee.

You should travel to your respective accommodations (as booked) and check in - they will be expecting you. Take some time to get settled in (you may have travelled a long way), and then make your way to our Registration desk.

Registration

The Registration desk is located in the Atrium of the University of Otago Commerce Building. The building is located on the corner of Clyde and Union Sts, and the Atrium is on the Second Floor of the Commerce Building. The desk will be sign posted for your convenience, and will be open all day on Tuesday December 7th, Wednesday 8th and throughout the Conference.

This will enable us to have all presentations ready in the theatres for the particular session you'll be presenting in.
