Hi,

Please come on in, have a look around, and check out the program and
speakers we've lined up for Web Directions South, our web design and
development conference, to be held in Sydney this September 25-28 2007.

http://www.webdirections.org/

With more than 30 leading experts, including a dozen international stars of
the web industry, across three tracks, Web Directions South will focus on
the key technology and business issues of the web in 2007. It really is
Australia's premier event for the web industry. Speakers for 2007 include

* Andy Clarke - Transcendent CSS
* Aaron Gustafson - Javascript and Ajax
* Brian Fling - designing for the mobile web
* George Oates - user experience design for communities
* Bert Bos - co-creator of CSS on the future of Web Standards
* Rashmi Sinha - online communities
* Adrian Holovaty - making data smart
* Mark Pesce - commons based peer production

plus many more new and old faces to educate and inspire us all once again
this September.

This year at Web Directions South alongside our traditional Design and
Development focus, there's a new Management/Strategy track. So, if you
design or develop for the web, manage web teams, or if your business relies
on the web, we've got two full days full for you.

As always, Web Directions South remains excellent value: register before
June 30 to see this amazing line up for just $795.

We've also got 6 workshops over the two days before Web Directions South:

* Brian Fling - Designing for the mobile web
* Aaron Gustafson - Progressive enhancement with Javascript
* Andy Clarke - Transcending CSS
* Laurel Papworth - Building vibrant and successful online communities
* Startup and freelance bootcamp. Every thing you need to know about going
out on your own as a freelancer or startup company.
* World Wide Web Consortium SIG technology day - W3C experts covering the
latest developments in web standards

Again, excellent value at just $395 with a conference ticket.

This year, in yet another first, we'll be featuring the Web Expo - running
throughout the conference at Darling Harbour.

And perhaps most exciting of all, we'll be hosting Australia's first Web
Hack day, on the Saturday following the conference.

And of course there'll be all the usual parties and opportunities to catch
up with old friends, and make new connections.

We are really excited with the quality and range of speakers we've been able
to get all the way to Sydney, the great new venue at Darling Harbour, with
the new Expo, the extended range of workshops, and WebHack, and hope you'll
be too. We look forward to seeing you in Sydney at the end of September for
what promises to be one of the stand out web events anywhere in the World -
Web Directions South 2007.
