Not sure about that “90%” – but certainly it has a “Wellington-centric” feel about it. A travelling road-show is a cracking idea … maybe the mini-Webstocks around the country?

It’d probably be better in Auckland. Create a bit of industry diversity in the attendees. 90% of Wellington attendees are in Govt.

Oh gosh Sue – I’d hope it would be Webstock in _New Zealand_ without the Wgtn prejudice

There probably isn’t enough sponsorship money in Wellington for one each year. But there is easily enough if you did one in Auckland, and then one in Wellington each year.

of course is there enough sponsorship money in nz to allow us to have yearly webstocks?

may be we need to all pitch in and have someone working on webstock full time all year round?

so we can have 1 a year?

Hi Mike, thanks for taking the time to comment!

I do think yearly would be good. But that is purely from an attendees point of view. Webstock06 was awesome. A really inspiring and energising event with a lot of networking going on. Why wouldn’t you want that every year

But, if it is that you need to run it 2 years so you can sell out every time… then maybe that makes more commercial sense. I just want more more more!

John – the debate is open as how often we’ll hold Webstock. You think yearly would be good?

Yeah I figure that’s probably the case. But Webstock is just too much fun to wait 2 years for

I’m betting that it’s held alternate years with govis, becuase nz is too samll for 2 web related conferences, even if one is just to do with boring old government. and not fun things like ice cream and pretty tshirts.
