Yes, Neerav,
There will be a WE05 in Sydney. It will be about twice as full on as last
year, as we have around 5-6 speakers. More importantly:
1. There will be a strong representation of female speakers (something sadly
missing from last years event)
2. The event will be split into streams, so we can pack more sessions into
the two days (although all international speakers will be given single
sessions so no one misses out).
3. This year there will be more detailed hands-on sessions.
4. there will be a new theme added to standards and accessibility this year
- user experience. We have some big name speakers coming out who will focus
on this area.
We will announce the full list of speakers and the full schedule in early
May when we launch the site.
But wait, there is more. Did I mention a set of steak knives?

Thanks

This time last year you couldnt pop your head out the door without John
Allsopp trying to sell you tickets to Web Essentials 2004 :-)
So far in 2005 I havent heard anything about tickets for Web Essentials
2005 being sold but according to http://molly.com/events.php its already
being planned, the dates are clear and some of the people attending are
certain as well?
The following proof is an excerpt from Molly E. Holzschlag's events diary
