Hi shane
My apologies. i had a look at the Digital Directions link and you are
correct. Hmm better get that fixed asap. Digital Directions is a one
day event so there will be no Lab - but still all the speakers will be
accessible for you to have a chat with on the day. I suggest you go to
There's also the Meetup group in Manly which is starting to grow. You
can find them on http://www.meetup.com/Manly-Geeks-and-Entrepreneurs-Meetup/
Cheers

Hi Catherine
Thanks for the feedback. Generally the Labs take on board 16 project
teams. We like to keep them intimate so you can have decent one-on-one
time with the mentors of your choice
The events (conference day) attracts up to 400 people and again
provides great networking opportunitie
Thanks Caroline, They sound like great events!! Any idea how many people get
involved in these events - particularly the Lab component?

subsidies - and even VC/Angel investment - is that they're based on
what some pundit or official *thinks* will be successful.
