welcome to the edge of the web!

Early on in the conference planning process, the AWIA committee brainstormed ideas for the name of our conference. The name “Edge of the Web” appealed for a couple of reasons: firstly, we wanted to push the boundaries and present bleeding edge content, because that’s what we believe conferences are all about. Secondly, it’s a bit of a play on the idea that Perth is at the far edge of Australia and in some respects the world. And finally it’s kinda catchy!

Perth is a nice spot to visit in November, and this may be part of the reason why we have quite a few people making the trek over from other parts of the world. Miles Burke has put together a map of the international, national and regional attendees that he knows about so far: Far and wide, they are coming!

If you are coming from somewhere different, or know of someone who is, please let Miles know so he can add them to his map.
