Food 
  • Machik will provide light refreshments on both days of the conference.
    We cannot guarantee that these refreshments were made in facilities free from nuts or common allergens. We are on a limited budget and rely on commercial coffee establishments.
  • Buy your lunches here for Saturday and Sunday. 
    Machik has negotiated a discounted, healthy, pan-Asian vegan box lunch for $10 from  Pow Pow. Their boxes, cutlery, etc, are all compostable, too. Machik does not earn any income from the lunch boxes. We offer this to you to make lunch time more efficient as there are very few lunch options open in the area on weekends. PLEASE buy your lunches here for Saturday and Sunday by 10pm on Thursday 9 November.
