I see, pretty confusing website structure with broken links... there are 3 conferences that they are charging for:
And then I think the rest is free:

- Social Media World
- e-Commernce & Payments World
- Content Management World
And then I think the rest is free:

Yeah, I think so
I applied for the free admission ticket and they sent me a bar coded ticket with my name on it
I don't know why because it is free admission anyway

Hi Honan they do this so when you go to stands the stand can scan you and get a copy of all your info you registered with. The stand where they scanned you might then add you to their email list, mail outs etc. Pretty common at all expos now. This database the expo company gets often gets resold which a lot of people dont know.

I never got around to going. I wasn't completely sure what a free ticket got me vs a paid ticket so I figured f*ck it and put it in the too difficult basket.
DomainNames that is very interesting, I didn't know that. I love the idea of doing that from a marketing perspective but as a consumer, it'd be annoying to get even more spam.

I went this arvo
It was OK
They gave you a lanyard for a paper id with your name and company
It had a q code so I guess each stand could scan you if they wanted
The stands were not that orgainised though
I asked a guy at a stand to show me his Virtual agent in action
He said his stand did not have internet access
Then he said it was $5k a month , so I didn't care
Yahoo were not interested in anyone except someone they had in a headlock
At another stand a guy took 10 minutes to enter my details into his ipad
He was distracted by a model helping him out
A lot of the stands were offering the same shite:
Overpriced hosting, DNs , adwords, SEO etc
There were some exceptions
Nice looking chick at the netregistry stand
She nearly talked me into paying $39 per DN
Anway I only took cards from the stands I liked
Here they are
mobileNation
DesignIndustries ( nice URL www.di.net.au , (Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, snoop
A Chisolm Institute guy who was giving free sessions all over melbourne about social networks http://www.chisholm.edu.au/studyAreas/CABS/BEC/Pages/WebworksforBusiness.aspx
SuperSocial.com.au From mornigton Vic, had cool facebook packages from $20 a month
I was gagging for a beer by the time I got out of there
PS
Ned, canyou edit any typos because I will be away for 25 mins

Dropped in today as well. Some seminars were great, others were terrible (bad presenters, sales pitches).
Stands were a mix of ok and rubbish to most professionals. So right about the overpriced SEM providers. I love how everyone tries to rename their Adwords reselling service to something 'cool'.
mobileNation was the most interesting for me. Great concept and will love to see more developers use it to provide low cost app-like development. Good, casual staff there as well.
