Microsoft | Web Directions

We are very grateful to have Microsoft as a key supporter for Web Directions South. Through this generous support Microsoft enables us to provide an even better conference for our attendees. Look out for Microsoft’s presence at our Expo, where they’ll be showing off many of the exciting technologies and tools they develop to help you build a better web.

Microsoft was founded in 1975 with a dream of helping people realise their true potential through technology. That vision has ultimately changed how people around the world communicate, work, learn and play.

Our relationship with millions of Australians extends from the home to the office and our technology is fundamental to people working in business, government and the community.

Our local operation started in 1983 with only 20 people. Since then, Microsoft Australia has grown to a staff of more than 700 working in capital cities across Australia, as well as ninemsn (a PBL and Microsoft joint venture) and Microsoft’s Home and Entertainment Division, which includes the Xbox business

Microsoft technology plays a key role in today’s Australia – from local community groups, to remote and higher educational institutions, all levels of government, big and small business and the thinkers and entrepreneurs who will ensure our future. We were also a proud partner of the 2006 Commonwealth Games. All these partnerships are designed with a common goal: to help all Australians achieve their best.
