Edge of the Web – Perth is the place to be
Time’s running out to take advantage of early bird pricing for Perth’s long awaited web industry event: Edge of the Web, brought to you by the Australian Web Industry Association.
On the 6th of November there will be a full day two track conference featuring
- Derek Featherstone, who’ll be delivering the opening keynote – Journeying to the Edge of the Web – in fact, as he travels all the way from Ottawa to be there, the reality of this title will very much sink in for Derek!
- Chris Messina – designing for openness and reuse
- Cameron Adams – designing with creative code
- Lisa Herrod – Usability for designers, developers and decision makers
- Tim Lucas – designing for iPhone
- Donna Spencer – involving users in the development process
- Russ Weakley – pushing the boundaries on content rish web sites
- Laurel Papworth – how to develop a social marketing campaign
- Stephen Collins – Enterprise 2.0
- Ben Buchanan – advocating for a better web
If you haven’t been to a web conference before, I can tell you, that will be an amazing day.
Then on Friday the 7th, some optional workshops where you can go indepth with:
- Derek Featherstone – Real World Accessibility for Ajax and Web Apps
- Donna Spencer – Information Architecture
- Kai Koenig – Adobe AIR Bootcamp
- Cameron Adams – Frontiers of Javascript
Check out all the details on these great value half day workshops here.
The guys from Perth have done a fantastic job pulling this all together at a price so reasonable it’s worth your while to travel there from “over east” to be a part of it. For myself, I’m really looking forward to hanging out and being part of someone else’s event.
Great reading, every weekend.
We round up the best writing about the web and send it your way each Friday.
