2014 Schedule

This page about Autscape 2014 is of historical interest only. Go to the home page for current information.

Everything at Autscape is completely optional. You are not obliged to attend anything, communicate with anyone (unless you are a parent or carer), or participate in any way. If you are interested in doing things, there is plenty going on throughout the day, serious, fun, structured and unstructured.

While this schedule contains a complete overview of all the formal programme presentations, we haven't found the time to include all the alternative programme activities on this page as well. For a complete overview of everything that's going on at Autscape, please refer to Part 2 of the Information Pack instead.
