Walk on the Beach with a Keynote Speaker


The AusWeb team tries to maximise participation at our conferences. We've got a large group of distinguished keynote speakers coming to the conference from North America and Europe, not to mention Canberra! As you may be aware, the conference hotel, Conrad Jupiters is a short distance from the Broadbeach beachfront on the Gold Coast.

It is a time honoured tradition on the Gold Coast to walk or run on the beach in the morning. We're planning for keynote speakers to walk on the beach with a small group of attendees - it's our AusWeb96 Walk on the Beach Programme! The groups will meet at the lobby of the hotel, hop in to a minibus to the beach and then walk on the beach for 40 minutes or thereabouts and back to the hotel. No agenda, no plans .. just an opportunity for a small number of delegates to interact with the keynote speakers on subjects of your choice in an entirely informal setting. The beach is just a magical place early in the morning and we're sure you'll enjoy the experience.

We'll be taking bookings for the AusWeb96 "Walk on the Beach Programme" at the registration desk at Conrad Jupiters on a first come, first served basis.

As well as ... Keynote Address Followup Sessions

Continuing with the participation theme .. with the relatively tight programme for AusWeb96 and the number of speakers, we'll be organising followup sessions for each of the keynote addresses. There will be only a short period for Q&A and discussion in the plenary session, so the keynotes will also be scheduled into a smaller room following their address. There will be opportunity in the followup session to pursue issues raised in the address in an informal setting. Each followup session will last approximately 30 minutes .. or more if there is lots of discussion!
