We’re really excited to take the wraps off Web Directions South for 2010. This has been a big year for Web Directions, with our first ever @media just wrap­ping up in London, and the recently announced Web Directions US in Atlanta.

But our home will always be Sydney, and we’re pretty sure we’ve lined up the best speaker list yet for this year’s event. Headlining are Scott Thomas, the lead web designer of Barack Obama’s pres­i­den­tial cam­paign, Josh Williams, founder of Gowalla, Blinksale and Icon Buffet. There’s also Steve Souders, Google’s high per­for­mance guru, author of High Performance web­sites (hav­ing seen him speak at @media, this is not to be missed), won­der­ful designer Dan Rubin, Michal Migurski of Stamen Design, one of the world’s lead­ing infor­ma­tion visu­al­iza­tion experts, user research pow­er­house Juliet Melton, and numer­ous oth­ers.

HTML5, CSS3, JQuery, server-​​side JavaScript, UX, IxD, geo-​​location, data visu­al­iza­tion are just some of the sub­ject areas on the menu, and once more, Web Directions South will fea­ture 4 tracks, includ­ing the W3C track we started last year.

There’s also work­shops by Dan Rubin (CSS3), Juliet Melton (User Research), Ben Schwarz (HTML5) and Craig Sharkie (JQuery for Designers), and of course plenty of social activ­i­ties to get and keep you connected.

And, keep Saturday, October 16th free, for an amaz­ing, free new event we’ll be announc­ing very very soon. You’ll not want to miss it.

Early bird reg­is­tra­tion of $300 off, at just $899 (inc. GST) is avail­able until July 31, and if you’ve got some bud­get from finan­cial year 2009/​10 burn­ing a hole in your pocket, then you’ve got until Wednesday week to reg­is­ter this finan­cial year.

We can’t wait until October for Web Directions South, and we hope to see you there!
