Did you Edge of the Web?

1. Please fill in the survey. Parmia Insurance have donated quality whiskey, coffee and chocolate as a raffle prize.

2. At EOTW you would have heard about Widelines; the code of conduct we will be advertising to the business community. If you want to be Widelines-compliant,  (a) sign up and (b) enter your details in the AWIA directory. NOTE: directory has been re-organised and flushed, so you'll need to re-enter your stuff. A pre-condition for Widelines is business membership of AWIA. Here's where you join or upgrade.

3. Thanks to the speakers, volunteers, delegates, sponsors and event managers Partner & Prosper. The conference went off like a bomb and feedback so far is hell positive.

Why bother?

The surfie that runs Saasu, the bald guy that runs Freelancer, America's media manipulator, Australia's Ruby Hero, the JS guru, the irreverent Peter Webb, the design hot-shot, Christian Frichot, extraverts showing off their business models, the faster web site talk, two social media guys who don't bullshit, the Gen Z girl, the Android, Evan Cunningham-Dunlop, the hungry startups, Gian Wild, the forms obsessive, Samantha Thebridge...

Plus, designers get to design stuff & sell it. And a whole-of-conference project to map out the future of the Industry. Too busy? Can't find a couple hundred bucks? np; someone else will tell you about it. Edge of the Web 2013.

Welcome to the Australian Web Industry Association (AWIA) website.
