The Australian System Administrators 19th Annual Conference
_* Hobart, Tasmania _* August 9^th - 13^th, 2010

Join us for 3 days of training followed by 2 days of technical and information sessions.  There will also be ample opportunity to network with your colleagues, and obtain product and service information from the exhibition of vendors.  You will gain experience that is of value to both yourself and your employer.

Keynote address:

Tom Limoncelli
International author of The Practice of "System and Network Administration", and the O'Reilly book Time Management for System Administrators.

All delegates will receive morning and afternoon tea, and lunches on each day they attend, plus a name badge, conference satchel and polo shirt.  The Conference also offers an excellent Social Program, namely:

Trivia Night
What do you get if you mix about 50 geeks, some food, alcohol and a bunch of toys? - a SAGE-AU Trivia Night of course. Not only is it designed to be a few hours of challenging fun; it also raises money for charity. Money raised in 2010 will be donated to The Leukaemia Foundation Tasmania.

Attendance is not limited to conference attendees, so partners or work colleagues are welcome - this is a general trivia night and not limited to System Administration or IT topics, so there will be something for everyone.  The function is an optional extra and is not included with your registration.

A variety of platters will be included, but drinks will be at your own cost.

The Trivia Night is always a sellout, so we would encourage early bookings.  Reserve your seats on your conference registration form.  And don't forget to bring some gold coins with you for a competition.
