The meeting website can be found here: https://rds.org.au/events/ivoa-2024/ with the registration page here https://rds.org.au/events/ivoa-2024/registration/

Further venue information for early meetings such as the Protocol Transitioning Tiger team<https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/DALGWSTigerTeam> (16/17 May) will be confirmed soon, however it will be on the university campus. We are also considering making a meeting space available for Saturday 18 May.

Some additional logistical information
The 2024 Sydney Interop will be held on the main campus of Macquarie University, which is about 20km north-west of Central Sydney (Opera House, Harbour Bridge etc). It is accessible via Metro and bus from the surrounding area. The Metro line runs from the outer suburbs of Sydney through Macquarie University and then to Chatswood. There are connecting trains to the city from Chatswood.

There is a lot of accommodation in the nearby suburbs of Macquarie Park, North Ryde and Chatswood (all on the same Metro line). Prices start at around $200-$250AUD (~120-150 Euros) per night. We recommend sites like Booking.com to search for the whole range of accommodation.

There are plenty of dining options in Chatswood, and some in North Ryde. Alternatively, there are many dining options near Sydney Town Hall (about 25-30 minutes by direct train from Chatswood) as well as Circular Quay and The Rocks; the latter is the oldest part of Sydney.

More detailed information will be provided in the coming weeks.
