Thanks for the list Ryan. WIsh I lived in Sydney – so much happening there. I do hope to get to LearnX Asia Pacific here. There is also the PLE conference in Melb. in July: http://pleconf.org/
If you are coming to Melb at all it would be great to be able to meet you.
Rebekah
The events I’ve listed here are shamelessly Sydney centric :oP
Thanks for sharing the link to the PLE Conference – it looks really good. I’m a big fan of PLEs.
When I’m next in Melbourne, I’ll certainly let you know!
Hi Ryan,
Great list – another conference later in the year is http://www.hrizon.com.au/
And thanks Rebekah for the link to the PLE conference
Cheers
Craig
Thanks Craig, I’ve added that one to the list too.
Hi Ryan, checkout this one too: http://www.kmaustralia.com/
Thanks for the addition, Bhanwar.
Hi Ryan; would you be publishing this list for 2013? :)
I will Bhanwar, but I will be focusing on events in Australia (there are plenty of them). Keep your eyes peeled for publication in January.
Ryan,
Interesting post. But for me a little too late. Do you know if there is also a list of e-learning/technology summits list for 2013-2014 in Asia. As I live in Europe, I’m looking for the ideas from other continents. Asia looks very interesting for me.
Hi Edwin. Tony Karrer publishes Clayton R. Wright’s worldwide list every year, and its coverage usually extends well into the following year. Singapore seems to host a lot.
