Today I posted on Twitter that I had an idea that would benefit the Rockhampton Information Technology crowd. If you haven’t caught onto the idea after reading the title of this post, here is the grand revelation! A Web Conference to be held in Rockhampton for user’s or managers of Web technologies within the Central Queensland region. I am truly excited by this concept and believe that it can work for a number of reasons:
- Rockhampton has a reasonably large (larger than many would think) Web industry
- As Rockhampton is a regional town, many members of the Web crowd would have never been to one of the larger nationally or internationally run conferences
- It would also give an opportunity for people to meet companies within CQ. Especially for students within the region.
- Networking is something that can be hard to achieve when working with the Web. We are generally isolated people that tend to work within our teams and no further. This would give attendee’s an opportunity to mingle with the other bright minds within the region and share their knowledge and experience with each other.
Examples of topics I would expect the conference to cover are as follows:
- Management concepts for web based teams / projects
- Tips, tricks and concepts in regards to languages used for the web (eg. HTML5, CSS3 etc)
- Discussions on how to successfully manage a Web Server
I will be releasing more information about the concept and such at a later date as this is still very early stages. If you have any thoughts on the subject please comment below, send me an email or send me a message via twitter (@camstitt).
Thanks,
Cameron
