REMIX11 is a go in Sydney, Australia

I’m proud to announce that REMIX11 is open for business.

Mosey on over to http://noisetosignal.com.au/remix/ for details.

We’re doing it a little different this year…

2 June is going to be a chocca block full day of web developer goodness. Much of what modern developer needs to know to stay on top of their game is on offer and more.

1 June we’re going to be doing a special evening keynote filled with great speakers and a performance by one of my fav music artists at the moment (shh, it’s a secret).

Ok, check out http://noisetosignal.com.au/remix/ for much more details.
