The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential as a forum for information, commerce, communication, and collective understanding. The Australian W3C Office (W3C-Aus) is the national contact point for W3C activities in Australia.

We are very grateful for the support of the W3C as a significant supporter, for helping us secure the participation of Bert Bos at the conference, and for choosing Web Directions as their partner for their Special Interest Group day for 2007.
