One of the things we try to encour­age with Web Directions is a more entre­pre­neur­ial approach to devel­op­ment. We rec­og­nize that there are a great many Australian suc­cess sto­ries out there — from the orig­i­nally Australian Google Maps to folks like high tech bag com­pany STM, to Freshview, to the just today acquired by Google Aussie startup Omnisio, and one of our favourites, Remember The Milk. Of course we can’t and won’t all fol­low that path, but there are many who think about strik­ing out for themselves.

In 2003, fol­low­ing a sim­i­lar dream, Australian Anthill, a print mag­a­zine focussing on entre­pre­neur­ship and busi­ness inno­va­tion, in small and large com­pa­nies alike was founded. We are really excited to have them as media part­ners for this year’s con­fer­ence, and help­ing us to get the word about the con­fer­ence out into the broader busi­ness com­mu­nity. There’s lit­tle doubt that unless busi­ness (and oth­ers) in Australia really under­stand and embrace the web, we’ll find our­selves left at the start­ing blocks, while economies tap into the huge poten­tial we are only begin­ning to understand.

Thanks to Anthill for their sup­port, and keep an eye out for it on the news stands, or check their web­site for more.
