OZeWAI 2006 (Melbourne) - November 29 and December 1
--------------------
Web Adaptability Conference 2006: Are we making the best progress possible?
La Trobe University Melbourne.
Adaptability is about ensuring that everyone who wants to access digital
content can do so if they have appropriate devices and telecommunications.
Currently this is not the case - large Web pages rarely fit on small
hand-held device screens, let alone phone screens, and most interesting
sites are not accessible to people with adaptive technologies because the
resources are not well-formed.

--------------------
The Webstock team presents a day of edification and an evening of

Brought to you by Sydney developers Anson Parker and Lachlan Hardy, Webjam

developers, information architects -- really anyone in the web industry --
will get 3 minutes each to present something they've been working on this
year. Come along, have a drink and a bite to eat with your peers and see
what Aussie developers have been up to in 2006. Be the entertainment
What have you been up to? Have you, your team or your company been working
on the next big thing? Or maybe you've developed a cool new feature for your
website. Perhaps you've overhauled a creaking old site into a masterpiece of
usability and accessibility. Whatever it is, as long as you can tell us
about it in 3 minutes, we would love you to come and show it off at Webjam.
The proposition is simple: we provide a laptop, a projector, 3 minutes and a
room full of increasingly drunk peers -- you do the rest! Register now.
