What about Wollongong? ;-) Join people like Geoff McQueen from Hiive... http://www.hiivesystems.com/
We have a great new facility at the Innovation Campus... http://www.innovationcampus.com.au/ And half way between Sydney AND Canberra. Have the best of both worlds and great beaches too. That's why Accenture picked Wollongong: "Accenture Australia recognised an innovative approach was required to address ongoing local skill shortages, one that would ensure the organisation would continue to be well positioned to meet client requirements in building high-performing businesses. We recognised that Wollongong, located on the picturesque south coast of NSW, offered the ideal solution by providing access to a highly skilled workforce. For several years, the University of Wollongong has taken a leadership position in terms of developing talented information technology (IT) professionals. Thus it seemed natural for Accenture to access this pool of IT talent and establish a new facility that would provide IT development and ongoing client support in Wollongong." http://www.accenture.com/Countries/Australia/About_Accenture/Company_Overview/AcnITWollongongNSW.htm Best Regards, James -- James President, ICTI Illawarra www.icti.org.au On Jul 9, 1:27 pm, SamH <[email protected]> wrote: > Canberra! > > It's got two universities.
