anyone been to previous ones? is it worth going to? is there lots of partying... i mean.. networking?
CannedTuna
Yes, there is lots and lots of "networking", if you have the stamina you can go the entire week without sleep. You will find there will be a large Perth Posse again this year (and that's the ones we know about).

It is worth to go and you will for sure regret if you will not.

@oceanpark - definitely worth going. If I could only get to one web conference a year, this is it. And yes, there's heaps of networking ;)

Just a quick note if you are following this - the discount period ends at the end of August - so if you want $100 off, then sign up by then!
