[AusNOG] APNIC 30 on the Gold Coast - Will more Aussies turn up?

[Skeeve Stevens]

OK... so the news is out... APNIC 30 which was to be held in Bangkok has had to change venue due to the dangerous environment there at present.

So... now that it is being held in Australia, especially on the East Coast... does this mean that you - Aussie ISP/IT guy will consider turning up?

I realise that when they are overseas it can be hard to justify, hard to afford... but a lot of those excuses are now gone.

I have found the APNIC events to be simply amazing, meeting people in our field from all over the world... not only do people come from nearly all of APNIC's 58 (I think) member economic communities (we can't call them countries as China may get annoyed), but representatives from other regions also come along with some amazing speakers.  I personally have met many people I would now call friends who have given me a new perspective on the internet community worldwide.

I encourage you all, especially those in Brisbane, Gold Coast and surrounds to come along... it will be something special, I guarantee you.

Please reply if you would now consider coming along and what you think you might get out of it... in the hope that your reasons may encourage others.
