<p><em>My answer to <a href="https://www.quora.com/Are-there-any-large-tech-conferences-events-in-Australia/answer/Simon-Willison">Are there any large tech conferences/events in Australia?</a> on Quora</em></p> <p>Web Directions South is a big Australian web event - you've just missed it though, it was a couple of weeks ago: <span><a href="http://south11.webdirections.org/">http://south11.webdirections.org/</a></span> ( <span><a href="http://lanyrd.com/2011/web-directions-south/">http://lanyrd.com/2011/web-direc...</a></span> on Lanyrd). It's along the lines you describe, although tends to be more developer-focused than business-focused.</p> <p>We have a list of upcoming conferences in Australia here, most of which are technology related - you might find something interesting in there: <span><a href="http://lanyrd.com/places/australia/">http://lanyrd.com/places/australia/</a></span></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/australia">australia</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/conferences">conferences</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/networking">networking</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/startups">startups</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/sydney">sydney</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/quora">quora</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/meetups">meetups</a></p>
