April WSG Meeting: Gerry Gaffney and John Allsopp

Next month’s Web Standards Group meeting is looking set to break all attendance records. With just under a week to go before the event, 82 people have already registered to attend — more than when international superstars like Jeremy Keith or Molly Holzschlag spoke.

Our terrific venue, Loop bar have upgraded us from the cozy back room to the main bar, in order to accommodate so many people.

Part of the reason this event is that Gerry Gaffney and John Allsopp are both recognised experts in their field and compelling speakers. But another factor that may be attracting so many people is the excellent door prizes we are giving away. Here’s a rundown of what you could win on the night:

• A ticket to the upcoming Web Directions UX conference, worth $595
• A copy of SitePoint’s The Usability Kit, worth $197
• A copy of the new SitePoint book, The Principles of Project Management
• A copy of John Allsopp’s book, Microformats: Empowering Your Markup For Web 2.0

So if you work on the Web and aren’t doing anything next Wednesday, get to Loop bar, grab yourself a beer, enjoy the talks, network with your peers, and just maybe win a very cool prize.

Please RSVP for catering purposes.
