DMF Users Group Meeting number 11 - FAQ

Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, Perth, Western Australia
29-30 August 2019

 
  • Starting time of the DMF User Group Meeting will be 9:00 on the first day, and we expect to finish at 15:00 on the last day.

  • Please note: Due to the number of registrations, we have had to move to a larger location, not far from the Pawsey Centre.

    The location is now:

    Seminar Room
    Australian Resources Research Centre (CSIRO)
    26 Dick Perry Ave, near Bryce Ave
    Kensington 6151
    (Suburb Map)   (Site Map)
    Reception: phone +61 8 6436 8500

    If you aren't a CSIRO staff member, you will need to ensure you enter the front of Building 002 to get your visitor pass from the label printer unit on the reception desk.

    Parking is at the front or rear of the ARRC building.

    If you get lost, you can call Reception as above. (If there's no reply, try Peter Edwards on 046 7766 487.)
