• Headphones: you must bring your own set of headphones to use in the conference computer labs. iPod-style headphones are fine.
• You will also need to bring an adaptor for your headphones. It's a 3.5mm socket to 6.35mm (1/4 inch) Jack plug stereo adaptor (see image) and it's available for around $2 at stores like Dick Smith Electronics or Harvey Norman.
• Optional: you may bring your own laptop and log in to the local network for free internet access
• Optional: in some sessions there will be an opportunity to play instruments, so feel free to bring along your own instrument to the conference. If you are unable to bring an instrument for these sessions a range of tuned and untuned percussion will be provided.
