In my mind Perth/WA has always been a hotbed of startup activity and success in Australia. A few examples are Vibe Capital, Recommendation Ventures and Norg Media. Even Australia’s most prominent tech writer Duncan Riley used to write for TechCrunch from his home in Western Australia (before moving to Victoria earlier this year)

In that context it comes as a surprise that the man with no blog, Gary Barber, writes that people in Perth think that things often pass them by.

Whether true or not, if you’re in Perth then put the 6th and 7th of November in the calendar. The Australian Web Industry Association is putting on the Edge of the Web conference and it looks like it’s going to be a good one.

You can find out about the details for yourself at the conference site  - but let me just say that the program looks excellent and the speakers top class.

Definitley one to check out if you can.
