KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
---------------------------------------------------------------

Don Norman

Donald A. Norman calls himself a "user advocate." Business Week calls
him a "cantankerous visionary" – cantankerous in his quest for
excellence. Upside Magazine named him one of the "Elite 100" for 1999.
Prof. Norman brings a unique mix of the social sciences and engineering
to bear on everyday products. He is a strong advocate of human-centered
design and simplicity and perhaps best known for his book, The Design
of Everyday Things.

Don has published extensively, and is the author or co-author of
thirteen books, including "The Design of Everyday Things," and "Things
That Make Us Smart." His latest book is "The Invisible Computer: Why
good products can fail, the PC is so complex, and information
appliances are the answer." His website is at www.jnd.org.

Susan Dray

Since 1979, Dr. Susan M. Dray has worked in the field of human factors
to increase the quality and intuitiveness of user interface designs for
users around the world. She has worked as both an internal and external
consultant, and combines expertise in interface evaluation, usability
evaluation, and contextual and ethnographic research with a
cross-cultural and organizational perspective.

As President of Dray & Associates, Inc., (www.dray.com) she consults
internationally on interface design and usability. She has evaluated
and helped redesign user interfaces for all types of websites, desktop
and Web applications, as well as both hardware and software consumer
products and technical equipment. She specializes in international user
studies, and has conducted user research in 17 countries, including one
of the largest international usability evaluations ever done - studying
120 users in 8 countries in Europe and Asia.

TRAVEL
---------

Rotorua is located in the Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand.

The following web sites (amongst many others) may help in organising
your travel to Rotorua and to other destinations whilst you are in New
Zealand.
- http://www.hostelrotorua.com/cityinfo/transport.php
- http://www.virtualtourist.com/vt/22aa85/9/
-
http://www.tripadvisor.com/AllReviews-g255111-Rotorua_North_Island.html
- http://visitnz.co.nz/rotorua.htm

Flying

Rotorua has a domestic airport but international flights do not fly to
Rotorua. Your international flight is likely to arrive in Auckland,
Wellington, Christchurch or Hamilton. There are connecting domestic
flights to Rotorua provided by Air New Zealand (http://www.airnz.co.nz
) or through its domestic partner airlines. Flights from any of the
international airports to Rotorua are likely to take less than an hour.

Vehicle rental and driving

Another alternative is to rent a vehicle. This can be done at the
airport (where a number of international rental agencies have a
presence), and you can arrange in advance if necessary. The Land
Transport Safety Authority provides information on driving in New
Zealand (http://www.ltsa.govt.nz/information-for/new-to-nz.html). A
useful driving time and distance web page may help you to plan your
road trips (http://www.accommodationz.co.nz/distancesnorth2.html).

Coaches, buses and rail

New Zealand has a good inter-city and rural bus and coach service.
Inter-city train services are limited to major cities. The TravelPass
timetable (1.1Mb, PDF,
http://www.travelpass.co.nz/pdf/travelpass-timetable-2004.pdf) provides
detailed information about bus/coach, train, and inter-island ferry
timetables.


ACCOMMODATION
---------------------------------------------------------------

If you wish to stay in the conference hotel, please ensure that you
confirm that you are attending APCHI when you make your booking. This
will mean that you get to $140 special rate.

There are many other accommodation possibilities in Rotorua, handy to
the conference venue, to suit a range of budgets.

Here is a good starting point to find out more:
