Hi all
I'm sure that most, if not all of you, are familiar with Web Directions
South (http://south08.webdirections.org/) which is a great web conference
held yearly in Sydney. Our own lovely Donna Spencer is presenting the
Designing Interaction in the Age of Ajax workshop.
There's some info below if you're interested in attending. I've been
attending since the start of the conferences and there's a few on this
mailing list that have attended quite a few as well. I love the chance to
network with a whole bunch of people who love working in the web industry!
On a side note, the OzIA conference is usually held around the same time, so
it's fantastic to make it to Sydney for two great events.
Cheers,
Ruth
