AWIA Port80 Sydney Meetup

The Australian Web Industry Association have been months in intense planning,  endless rehearsals,  mock operations, countless hours of covert information gathering have gone into yet another year’s Operation Port80 – Sydney,  (well would you believe a few minutes via email).

Following on from the intense pizza inspired discussions at the Pumphouse in 2006 and the challenging quiz night of the Quarryman in 2007 we are now having another Port 80 on the evening before Web Directions 2008.

This  seems to be coming a bit of a tradition with the decent of the Perth Port 80 Posse on the humble town of Sydney, and why should 2008 be any different.
