[Sigia-l] Canberra IA Cocktail Hour - Tuesday 03 October 2006: CrazySexyCool - Web 2.0

[Andrew]

Apologies for the cross-posting

The next Canberra IA Cocktail Hour is on Tuesday (because more people 
can make Tuesdays) 03 October 2006.

Steve Collins (of ACME Guide fame) will be talking to us on... wait for 
it... CrazySexyCool (Web2.0 - what is it, why do I want it and how do I 
get there?)

If you work with technology (don't we all?) you've probably heard the 
term "Web2.0" by now.  But what is Web2.0?  Why is it sending the 
pundits into breathless paroxysms?  Is it REALLY as important as the 
tech media and permanent-beta start-ups would have you believe?  Most 
importantly, is it a viable option for you and your project?
 
Revelation awaits when Steve Collins delivers the answers on Web2.0.
 
We're looking at a meet'n'greet/presentation/chat format, with the 
emphasis on information exchange at practitioner level. This is a great 
opportunity to talk with other IAs in Canberra, have a few drinks, and 
chat about work.

Time: 17:00-18:30
Day/Date: Tuesday 03 October 2006
Venue: SMS Management & Technology
Ground Floor, 8 Brindabella Circuit
CANBERRA AIRPORT ACT

Please RSVP by COB Thursday 28 September 2006 for catering purposes.

Parking: a reminder that Brindabella Park has different parking 
arrangements than those found in many parts of Canberra - there is free 
parking for the first hour adjacent to the entrance of 8 Brindabella 
Circuit. After that you have to move your car or pay for parking (and 
this applies past the end of the meeting).

PS: we now have a contact list for the Canberra IA Cocktail Hours: you 
can join via http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/canberra_ia_community
PPS: I will miss this session as I am off a-observing - I look forward 
to catching up with as many of the Australian locals as possible at the 
OZ-IA conference/retreat at the end of next week.

Best regards, Andrew Boyd
