The QUESTnet2010 conference is being held at the RACV Royal Pines Resort, Gold Coast, from Tuesday 6 July to Friday 9 July and is hosted by Griffith University. For more information please visit the conference website.
This year's theme is 2010: the network makes contact.
We have emerged from an era of innovations in voice, data and video, to one of convergence and transformation within networking and communications. Such development has not only changed but has impacted the manner in which business, education and research is conducted and how people and communities are connected.
With the rollout of NBN, 2010 will become part of a decade that will be remembered for extensive enhancement to unified communications, messaging and collaboration underpinned by an extensive range of end user applications in the fields of science, medicine, education and social networking.
The QUESTnet2010 conference will also feature advanced hand-held technologies to allow delegates to actively engage in discourse with presenters and attendees across the respective streams. New technologies will also be trialled to enhance the social experience, making the conference an enjoyable and informative experience.
