The sec­ond Australian Web Week kicks off today, with a load of return events from last year, as well as plenty of new events as well.

A huge thanks to all those who are putting on events — many of which are free.

Today the week kicked off with the lat­est instal­ment of Australia’s IA con­fer­ence, OZIA (it’s on tomor­row as well.)

Tonight, and run­ning all week­end is Startup Camp IV (I’m sure it will be bet­ter than Rocky IV)

Sunday sees the return of one of my favourites, Social Climbing — with expert and novice indoor climbers alike hit­ting the walls. If you’ve never climbed, but always wanted to, then here’s your chance, while if you’re an old hand, or want to get back into climb­ing, con­nect up with a great crew of web folks from all over.

Also check out the great events hap­pen­ing next week, includ­ing the Australian Web Awards NSW pre­sen­ta­tion cock­tail party — free food and drink peo­ple, and much more– RoroSyd for your rails peo­ple, the Stamford Great Debate, SydJS for your JavaScript folks, and Web Futures — for edu­ca­tors, stu­dents, par­ents, and any­one inter­ested in career oppor­tu­ni­ties on the web.

There’s also Code War live – on stage cod­ing bat­tles, net­work­ing par­ties, a free lec­ture by the Smithsonian’s Michael Edson, and more.

And it all wraps up with Amped — fresh from our first out­ing in Atlanta. It’s free, and will knock your socks off. But Australian web peo­ple — Atlanta set the bar high so you had bet­ter turn up ready to deliver.

Amped, and Web Week close with the Web Week Closing Party — free for Amped par­tic­i­pants, or just $25 for oth­ers — with open bar, food, the Amped final­ists going head to head for the grand prize, and more.

Come make the sec­ond Australian Web Week an even big­ger suc­cess than last year’s, sim­ply by turn­ing up to one or more of these fan­tas­tic events.
