It takes place over 2.5 days and has about 30 people attend in person and the same number remote. Information about the 2026 conference in Canberra: https://signumuniversity.org/event/ozmoot2026/ and the here is the page for the 2025 conference that includes the schedule and talks (I have the PDF for longer talk details ) https://signumuniversity.org/event/ozmoot2025/ I'd note that it is a small and friendly conference. You don't need to be a serious Tolkien expert to attend. Happy to answer any questions etc. [0] https://2026.everythingopen.au/ [1] I'd like to believe I'm not the only EO attendee that like the works of Tolkien. [2] I've not checked yet the relative places in the City each is. -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.simonlyall.com/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar
