Important information for attendees:

  • There are limited flights in and out of some provinces, so we recommend that you book your flights as soon as possible. If you are unable to find a flight into Sydney (YQY) that suits your schedule, Halifax (YHZ) has many possibilities if you don’t mind renting a car. The drive is an easy and scenic one, but a little lengthy (about 4 hours).
  • Hotel blocks are available at discounted conference rates. Partner hotels are below. To reserve your room, please follow the links below or call the hotel directly indicating SWAAC conference.
  • We have arranged busses for airport transportation and between hotels and campus at the beginning and end of each day and, should you choose to book at one of the two waterfront hotels, you will be within an easy walk to the Thursday evening gala location.
