Web Directions South contest coming soon!

June 24, 2008 at 12:34 AM

Last week I mentioned (incorrectly, sorry) that the deadline for early bird registration to Web Directions South was fast approaching. In fact, we all have until July 16th for $200 off conference passes, and a second less-early bird deadline after that. However, don’t get complacent, because the WDS folks are giving away an iPhone to one lucky attendee who buys a pass by July 11th!

Still resisting temptation? Web Directions South pulls some serious conference clout, not only for its Sydney venue but also due to the quality of speakers, sessions, workshop and camaraderie. This year speakers include Jeffrey Veen – Designing our way through data, Lynne D Johnson – New media – new business, Derek Featherstone – Web app accessibility, Jina Bolton – Creating sexy stylesheets, Daniel Burka – Interaction design case studies, Jeff Croft – Elegant web typography and Douglas Crockford – Ajax security amongst quite a few other top-notch speakers, many from Australia’s own geek community. The workshops look compelling, too, covering a wide range of topics from Django webapp development to Website accessibility for webapps & ajax.

Digital Web is proud to be a media partner for WDS, and we’ll be running a contest for our southern-oriented readers very soon. If you are familiar with our previous contests for Web Directions North (the Canadian counterpart), then you might have an idea of what we have in mind. Stay tuned; I’ll post more about it soon!
