The Australian Web Industry Association chose this weekend’s Barcamp 2.0 event to announce Western Australia’s first web conference, Edge of the Web.

The 2-day event in early November will feature 2 streams; business and technology culminating in the 2008 WA Web Awards ceremony. A lineup of international, national and local speakers have been confirmed and will be announced in the coming weeks.

To keep up to date and help us choose a logo for the event, head over to edgeoftheweb.org.au and sign up for the newsletter.

I can’t wait, never having been to a web conference before, it will be great to have one right on our doorstep!
