I really, really, really, REALLY wish I could go, but making the trip across the Nullabor is just not possible this year (moving into our new house in three weeks time). The calibre of speakers looks great, and from my experiences attending MXDU these past two years, a major part of attending conferences like these is the social and networking aspect. Where else will you get to hang out with html geeks, standards nazis and css heads? You can learn stuff just by osmosis. Yet another reason to support conferences like these is to encourage the industry to hold more. Damn, I *so* wish I could go!

Re: [WSG] web essentials briefing/ westciv CSS Guide
Well said. Last night was really well organised. And the topics were very well chosen with live examples! Big thanks to Russ, Peter, John, Maxine and all others behinds the scenes that made sure the operation went on smoothly. I just wanted to express my thanks so here goes: http://www.karmakars.com/weblog/archives/2004/09/03/web_essentials_group oh and on that note I do like Dean's sense of homo(u)r :) Looking forward to the Conference.

Re: [WSG] web essentials briefing/ westciv CSS Guide
Andy, If you're based in Oz however you'd be a fool to miss it. Why, though? The calibre of the people looks fantastic, but would it be worth spending $750 to see them? I really would love to go if I was convinced that it would advance my web building knowledge hugely, more than (say) this mailing list! I'm desperate for a good enough excuse - and I don't have it yet. In saying this I do not want to detract at all from the excitement building about the event. And I can see that for someone brand new to web standards this will, as you say, be a "killer" event. I just want to have a picture painted of the benefits of this event, more than the names, and more than the titles of the events. Maybe others in the WSG are holding back for a similar reason, and might also pull out their wallets if the pitch was good enough! I'm no guru, but I get by. Is it for me (he asks hopefully)? -Hugh ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ Proud presenters of Web Essentials 04 http://we04.com/ Web standards, accessibility, inspiration, knowledge To be held in Sydney, September 30 and October 1, 2004 See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **

Re: [WSG] web essentials briefing/ westciv CSS Guide
Web Essentials 04 looks like is turning out to be one killer event. I wish it was a little closer to home so I could make it. Everybody says Doug is an excellent speaker, and I'd really like to see Dave Shea as well. Add to that the likes of Joe Clarke, John, Russ and the rest of the Aussie crew and you've the makings of a great conference. I hope people will be blogging about it, and I'd love to see some of the presentations or even just the keynote streamed for those of us on the other side of the planet :-) If you're based in Oz however you'd be a fool to miss it.
