Coming to the Edge?

Last year AWIA ran the inau­gural Edge of the Web con­fer­ence, a one day affair in Novem­ber. It was a huge suc­cess and so this year we’re doing it all again, this time in a two day for­mat, from 4–5 Novem­ber 2009. Once more EOTW will be held at the UWA Club at the Uni­ver­sity of West­ern Aus­tralia, Perth.

The full speaker line up has been released and it looks awe­some. Blog­ging pio­neer Anil Dash, com­mu­nity design dude Derek Powazek and Alex Payne — from Twit­ter, no less — are our inter­na­tional guests, and we have a great line up of national and local speak­ers too. You can see the full pro­gram here.

Notable for the Adobe geeks is the addi­tion of Justin Mclean, who will be talk­ing about web-enabling hardware.

There’s also a day of work­shops on Fri­day 6 Novem­ber, where you can spend half a day with Alex Payne or Derek Powazek in the morn­ing, and with Lach­lan Hardy or Dmitry Bara­novskiy in the after­noon – or if search engine opti­mi­sa­tion is more your thing, you can spend a full day with Scott and Cheryl Gled­hill explor­ing the topic. Fri­day the 6th is also the Aus­tralian Web Awards pre­sen­ta­tion night, a crazy black tie din­ner done only the way the web indus­try can.

Oh, and did I men­tion fringe events? There’s a ton of those too…

So if you’ve been liv­ing under a rock and haven’t heard any of this, I can also tell you that the early bird pric­ing ends on Sep­tem­ber 30, which does not leave very long. So hop to it!
