sinpoziumIf you're coming to Sinpozium and haven't done the registration survey yet, please do, so we can know more about you and your fandoms before the day :)
A/V Equipment - just a reminder, presentations/videos/slideshows will be shown via a laptop hooked up to a data projector, so please bring files on disc/USB stick/external hard drive (we don't want to be switching laptops around if we can avoid it). A variety of file formats will be acceptable, but if it can be played by VLC, that's a good indication it will be ok. If you've got specific technical questions, please let us know.
Food - Please respond to the dinner survey if you haven't already, includng if you're not interested (that's now an option). This will help us a lot, thanks. Also, we've prepared a little map of the area around the venue, to help people find lunch options (and other important things like the supermarket, ATMs, coffee shops etc). It's not an exhaustive description of the amenities Oxford Street and surrounds offers, but hopefully it'll help. We hope to have hard copies available on the day.
Timetable - we are still finalising this (and if anyone wants to volunteer to pimp a fandom, or suggest discussion topics, or other activities, please do!) As a general guideline, we should be setting up around 9am on Saturday, with registration from 9:30am and then games, before going into other activities. Lunch break will be about 12:30-1:30ish, and we'll finish up by 6:30ish for dinner. Sunday will kick off with some more games at 9:30am and follow a similar pattern.
Transport - there's an outline of some of the transport options on our website. I'd just like to remind everyone that there are no elevators or escalators at Museum station, and there is a reasonable climb up the stairs from station level to street level. Please also note that the Elizabeth Street/Liverpool St exits are what should be used, not Bathurst Street (wrong way! go back!). If you need a hand planning the best way to get there, we'll try to help (though I have a completely undeserved reputation for taking the scenic route...)
Comfort - FYI, the chairs in the function room are slightly padded, and rather than try to quantify this, have a picture. You may wish to bring a cushion along to increase your comfort, as desired/needed.
As always, if you have any questions/suggestions, please comment here or email us at sinpozium@gmail.com
