• Its being held in Canberra. Usually, UX & Web conferences get held in places like Sydney or Melbourne or Perth. And we wanted to share some of the love with our capital cousins
• The conference is community based, which means we’re calling for proposals for presenters from the community; and we’ll be involving volunteers from the community to review and help select the conference program
• It’s about UX. Not IA, although that will be covered. Not interaction design, although that will be covered as well. Nor is it about information design, usability, accessibility, or user research. No, it’s about all of those things equally, and about how they all play a role in delivering great experiences to people.

The conference venue – Hotel Realm – looks pretty sweet as well. Brand new; five-star; but with plenty of affordable options for inter-state and international travelers. And plenty of restaurants and bars within throwing distance.

We’ll be calling for presentation proposals in a bit over a week, so think of a good topic and get ready to send it in.
