In 2004, Web Directions ignited the Australian Web Industry with one of the earliest Web focussed conferences anywhere.
For our tenth anniversary we've partnered with the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning at the University of Sydney, Reactive, SydCSS, WebRTC Sydney, NICTA, SydJS, AWIA, and others in the community to bring you a week of Web and Digital focussed events.
If you've not been to Web Directions before, check out our amazing lineup, taking place October 30 & 31. And if you have, check your inbox (or spam filter) for a special offer.
Want to keep up to date with all that's happening in Web design and dev? Why not follow us on Twitter, or jump on our weekly mailing list.
But most of all, get engaged and connected and come along to one of these great sideshows.
