Sadly, based on the feedback of many folks, who loved the idea, and wanted to get involved, but who weren’t sure that right now they’d be able to commit the time and effort required to really make a go of Hatch Day, we’ve decided to put that on hold for now. However, there will be […]

This won’t actually be a page: it’ll be the wretched blog
We’ve grown! This year we need two separate venues to accommodate the workshops and conference. They’re very close to one another, and equally convenient to a range of hotels in the Darling Harbour area. But if you are attending both workshops on the 25th and 26th and then the conference on the 27th and 28th, […]
Web Directions South was a jam packed couple of days with 28 presentations delivered by over 30 presenters. Not to mention the two days of workshops. We’ve put together this collection of resources to help you fill in the blanks, whether you were there or not. We’re so grateful to our presenters for making this […]

I […]
Hard to believe, but it’s already been six months since Web Directions South 2006. Which, if you do your sums right, means only 6 months until Web Directions South 2007. That’s right, plans are already well under way for the next installment. Each year we’ve tried to get a little bit more comprehensive, with space […]
Sorry if we appear to be trolling for comments of late – you know it’s not our style. We all know user generated content is all the rage. So here is your chance to help generate a conference – Web Directions South. We’ve done a lot of work thinking about the kind of content, the […]
