The confirmed dates for DUG2011 are 2-4 November 2011 Here at Stardome Observatory in Auckland New Zealand. Currently I am talking with E&S about pre/post conference training options, and once they are finalised I will post the details here. There will also be some post conference trips arranged, again more details to follow.
So how do you get here? Well there are a number of options available; the national carrier (Air New Zealand otherwise known as AirNZ) offers direct flights from the US (LA and San Francisco) daily as well as London and some European cities. From LA or San Francisco the flight time is about 11 hours direct to Auckland. There is also the option of Qantas; however they tend to fly via Sydney which adds an additional 9 hours to the journey time when coming from the US. United operate code share flights with both AirNZ and Qantas, so if you are booking through United it might pay to check to see if they have you on the flight going via Sydney or direct to Auckland.
More to follow soon
Happy New Year all and hope to see you all soon
