As the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining, and the silver lining to the demise of the Web Essentials conferences in Sydney is the birth of Web Directions.
The new WD06 conference is organised and managed by two of the three people who brought us WE04 and WE05, Maxine Sherrin and John Allsopp, and their intention is to bring us more of the same, and better. Details for the conference and associated workshops, scheduled for 26th to 29th September 2006, are to be released at the beginning of May.
