Gday Guys
Pleased to announce that the AAIC2013 is booked and invited speakers are coming on line. I just couldn't do Sydney unless everyone wanted to pay $500 a day and I had overwhelming requests by email last time i discussed it to keep it where it was - so I have. It will be held on the full moon weekend in August 2013 (23rd to the 25th August 2013) at the Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise.
I have invited several well known presenters and so far I have acceptance from :
Jay Gabany - recently voted one of the 25 most influential in space by Time Magazine - see

Jay will be delivering
How To workshops. That is the key to this conference - it is intended to be all instructional or informative with an emphasis on
How To talks.
I am waiting to hear from 2 other internationals who I am very excited about as well.
Marcus Davies and Greg Bradley have also offered their services - thanks guys - we need to show the internationals we know our stuff.
Again anyone keen to deliver a workshop or presentation please let me know and we can discuss it.
On a personal note I got the Leyburn Remote Observatory operating on the weekend - quite a challenge without mains power and with weak wireless internet. I will take some photos and post in the observatory forum after the weekend - a big thanks to Brett Soames for putting up with all the dumb questions - I should be able to post some images soon - it has been a long time.
Website should up and running soon for the AAIC2013 at

I hope this conference will surpass the success of the last one.
