I think the technical conference in NZ is a worthy one, but I would put more emphasis on getting managers of Telco's along, simply as it is an opportunity for them to understand a little more of the technical side, and perhaps it is also an opportunity for the techo's to understand the management drivers.
I'm not sure how likely this is, the recent Internetnz thing had little participation from Industry. There was a Clear guy there and someone from Telecom came in for a few sessions. However there was (AFAIK) no-one from Telstra or ihug (I was there but not representing ihug (at least when I could avoid it) ) or most other ISPs. Some one will have more exact number but there were only about 50 people total prepared to pay just $100 for a day day event (which was subsidised by internetnz). I'm just wondering if there is the demand there for events on a larger scale, will mosts people here's companys pay for them to attend a conference over a day or two, even the time off and registration fee if it's in the same town you are in? -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
