Karen WangI don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.

I’m a first year studying engineering at Melbourne Uni. I like literature, anime, and video games. Though I like a tiny bit of everything else.

James likes orange juice and going to the park. He will be happy if you say hi to him.

If people winked in real life as much as they do in text messages, this world would be a pretty creepy place ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Hey Hey! Sport, friends and tswizzle! Also love my sleep- won't be getting sleep during conference LOLZ. Conference will be an amazing experience so embrace it!

Fun-sized. Sun lover. Hair chameleon. Dreamer. Tea drinker. 2012 survivor. In need of sleep, sanity, & hugs.

Rayen loves lame puns and all things tech. He's ready to tech this conference to the next level.

Vivzhu is the ultimate roadrager and a lover of chicken, burgers and fries. Wastes most of her time lying in bed and contemplating life. Please be my friend xoxo.

The Conference4

Comprised of seminars, talks, brainstorming sessions and team-building exercises, the delegates you will be given the skills and mindset that you need to deliver more leadership experiences and develop a socially-conscious mindset throughout their AIESEC career.

About

VenuePGL Campaspe Downs is located on the outskirts of the Macedon Ranges, a diverse collection of unique villages and amazing natural landscapes populated with native Australian wildlife.

Airport

Taxis

Melbourne’s taxis are a convenient way to get from the airport to your destination. You can catch a taxi from designated taxi ranks, unless you have pre-booked one. Taxi ranks are located on the ground floor outside Terminals 1 and between Terminal 2 and 3.

Taxi fares vary based on distance, location and time of travel. Additional charges apply on some public holidays, when booking in advance, making an electronic payment, using toll roads, or when your taxi has five or more passengers. For more information visit taxi.vic.gov.au/fares.

The estimated amount to travel from Tullamarine Airport to the CBD is around $50.

Public Transport

To access all forms of public transportation, you will require a Myki. Myki is a universal transportation card (for train, tram, bus), you tap on and tap off when travelling to deduct the fare. With myki you simply ‘touch on’ and ‘touch off’ to pay for your trip. You must ‘touch on’ at the start of your trip or you can be fined.

Myki allows you to store credit for travel days or dollar value on a reusable smart card. You can top up the value of your card at Major train stations, some tram stops, major bus interchanges, by phone and online. You can purchase a Myki card when you visit a major train station for $6. Note that you are a FULL FARE traveller.
