WebBlast Canberra 2007 took place on 12 December 2007.

The success of the evening was a credit to the organisational skills of co-convenor Gavin Dispain. This is the second time that he and I (and a lot of volunteers) have got together to make an end-of-year social occasion that is open to everyone within the web industry - managing directors, web managers, information architects, graphic designers, university lecturers, students, and account managers.

This is me, slumped in a chair exhausted at the end of the evening:

It was great, but by 9PM or so (when this photo was taken) I’d pretty much adrenalined myself into a stupor

Everyone seemed to have fun - and there was the added bonus of a lot of business-related networking in amongst the celebration.

The chap hoisting his glass in the far background is none other than our own Stephen Hall. Also visible in this photo are Susan Schuller, Susan MacGillivray, Scott Ward, Paul Cooper, Andrew Meers, John Kennedy, Steve Collins, and many more besides. If you are in this shot and I haven’t mentioned you, please accept my apologies - leave me a comment
