//Robyn's comments and reflections... The AJC was chosen after many other options were ruled out as unavailable. We had set dates for George and ahd to work around them. We had tried ATP and Luna Park as 2 options. We needed to balance access for people flying in and access for locals - very difficult. Theatrettes would have been fine if separate from networking area - we were concerned that if on a separate floor people may not have gone down Signage was good but fell off somehow day1 !! Yes, air conditioning was freezing - they didn't get message it seemed//
