When you are planning your flights, please note that Canberra airport often gets closed due to fog in winter. It’s not particularly common in August, but can still happen. It is always safer to come in the night before.
Lines for taxis can also be long at the airport in the mornings, so allow up to 30mins to wait and 30mins to get to the venue. If you are leaving Friday night, allow 45mins to get a taxi to the airport.
How the program was developed
The conference program for UX Australia 2009 was based on community input, with a call for proposals and community review. All proposals were reviewed by at least 6 people, and the organising committee used the reviews to guide the selection of proposals. We didn’t just take the top scoring presentations – we select for a balance between practical and inspiring and coverage of a good range of topics.
