Wireless Facilities - sponsored by Microsoft Research

During ACL Coling Wireless Internet will be available to delegates in all public spaces (with possible restrictions in the rooms used for presentations).. The wireless network provided will be 802.11b/g standard with no port restrictions. Network bandwidth will be capped at 200kbps per user to maintain quality of service. Improper or inappropriate use of the network may result blocked network access. Please DO NOT use the network for Voice over IP telephony (VoIP) or peer to peer file sharing, since these applications consume a great deal of bandwidth. Our contract with the service provider means that excess usage will result in throttling back.

Close of Early Bird Registration

Early Bird registration deadline is midnight Wednesday 31st May time in WESTERN USA i.e. you will be given the longest possible time to register as early birds.

This means that we will actually close early bird at 5pm Eastern Australian Time on Thursday 1st June which equates to midnight Wednesday 31st May West Coast USA.

The website will be changed at that time to prevent overruns. After then, you have until midnight 30th June West Coast USA time to register as standard, non-early-bird delegates.


Detailed visa information available

Most overseas delegates who wish to attend Coling-ACL 2006 will require a visa to enter the country. You can now find detailed information about visas for entry to Australia on the registration page.
