Welcome Reception – Tuesday November 23, 6pm to 7.30pm
The Welcome Reception will be held on the Tuesday evening of the conference at Old Government House from 6pm to 7.30pm. Please see the OzCHI conference venues map.
Old Government House is located on the grounds of the conference venue at QUT and adjacent to the City Botanic Gardens. Old Government House is heritage listed and has recently been restored. The building was home to Queensland’s governors until 1910 and later became QUT’s inaugural building. In addition to housing a gallery and cafe, Old Government House acts as a museum with the building itself as the main historical artefact for people to visit.
