WebDirections

I throughly enjoyed WebEs­sen­tials lat year, so I was a little dis­ap­poin­ted when I heard that WE06 would not take place. I was relieved to find out the John All­sopp and Max­ine Sher­rin, half of the Web Essen­tials team would be hold­ing some type of web con­fer­ence in Sydney later this year.

When John was in Perth last week for Ideas3, web­dir­ec­tions was announced and some details provided, two days of con­fer­ence pre­ceeded by two days of work­shops and two streams (ie two dif­fer­ent work­shops per day) of work­shops. Some of the old presenters from WE04 and WE05 would be back and there would be some new presenters. The con­fer­ence would expand from it’s web stand­ards roots, to include inform­a­tion archi­tec­ture, (some­thing I need to learn more about).

The only thing John let slip was say­ing he would like to work with a cow­boy hat wear­ing presenter (though that may of been influ­enced by that shirt), the inform­a­tion on the web­dir­ec­tions site was all John was will­ing to give away.

So I have booked my flight, booked my acco­mod­a­tion at the Vul­can, highly recom­men­ded inex­pens­ive, clean, close to the venue, great break­fasts and full of fun people (or should be again this year).
