    Mix On Campus - Brisbane Down, Sydney and Melbourne to go

    Brisbane Mix On Campus is been and done, and I have to say, I was really happy with how things unfolded (as were people who attended, apparently, based on the eval forms we got - what a relief!).
     
    We had 150 people turn up to QUT, and the vibe was great, as were the speakers. Strong speaker performances by Nick Hodge and Ashley Angel and Chriss Saad from Faraday Media seemed to kep the crowd particularly enthralled - check the photos. I'll also have video of the speaker sessions up soon enough, so watch this space.
     
    The Melbourne 'Mix On Campus' coming up on Monday (26th), and we have some great news - we've got what we think is the world's first official demo of XNA Games Studio 2.0 beta (released earlier this week) delivered by Australia's leading XNA guru, Glenn Wilson. We've also got free Red Bull, plus all the usual stuff like xbox demo's, giveaways, good speaker content. Honestly, Brisbane was fun, but I think Melbourne is going to be twice as good. Call it a gut feeling ... we have 228 people registered thus far, so it's shaping up nicely. Tell your friends! 333 Swanston St, Melbourne, 26th Noevmber, 10am to 4pm...
     
    Then, on Friday 30th, Sydney Mix On Campus happens. We now have 2 of Australia's biggest web design / advertising agencies coming to talk about careers at the Sydney event - Amnesia and Y&R / Wuderman. We've also got XNA demos, web design for mobiles, free Red Bull and a bunch of other stuff ready to go.

    Speaker schedule is released

    Are there big guns coming? Well, there's no Bill Gates on the bill, but we got some guys who are probably just as impressive. There's been a number of people asking me about the speaker schedule, and I've been holding off for as long as possible because there are still 2 gentlemen who I am yet to finally confirm. But what they hey, we may as give you an idea of what you're signing up for, right?.
