Conference overview
The conference will be held over 2 days and is aimed at people who work on the web in the Local Government in New South Wales, but all or most topics will be relevant to those working in the public sector, community groups, and non-profits, as well as other tiers of Government.
We will have presentations and workshop sessions from some of the leading experts in Australia as well as case studies from people working in government. We want you to come away from this conference feeling part of this web community. We want to give you the chance to participate in discussion and debate, as well as networking with other professionals.
