NEWS ABOUT AUSWEB95
AusWeb95 will be hosted by Southern Cross University at the Ballina Beach
Resort in Ballina on the Far North Coast of New South Wales, Australia from
29 April to 2 May 1995.
There has been considerable interest in AusWeb95 and it seems likely that
the conference will be a sellout at 120 registrants as will the
preconference workshop with only 20 participants. We have always conceived
of AusWeb95 as being small enough that participants can meet everyone at
the conference and we have designed the program to maximise interaction.

conference venue and of Ballina and nearby Byron Bay can all be seen at:

OVERSEAS SPEAKERS
A number of overseas participants have indicated their participation in AusW=
eb95
and, following our assessment of the interests of participants (see below),
keynote speakers are currently being finalised.
SPONSORSHIP
We are pleased to announce that AusWeb95 is being sponsored by CISCO
Systems and other sponsorships are being arranged.
=46EEDBACK FROM CONFERENCE REGISTRANTS
The registration of interests form allows nomination of interests and space
to include other areas of interest. Following feedback from registrants on

PRECONFERENCE TRAINING WORKSHOP
Apart from Ken and Bill's tutorial sessions there will be a "hands on"
Preconference Training Workshop which will be held at the University on
Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 April. The workshop is designed for those who
have heard about the Web and wish to learn about this important resource.
No WWW, or for that matter Internet, experience is assumed. Participants
will learn how to author WorldWideWeb materials and how to bring a server
to the net. The workshop will be very much hands on and will use training
materials which have been developed for staff at Southern Cross University.
The workshop will conclude with each participant developing material which
will incorporate text, graphics, video and sound.
