I'm forwarding this on behalf of another group. It's an inexpensive  
conference which may be of interest to members in Australia or those  
of you looking for a junket in a hot country (it's definitely warm  
here at the moment).

Administrivia: Although I live in the same town as this conference, I  
am not doing it for that reason. In general, I do not mind one or two  
posts per conference as long as the conference has some relevance to  
webappsec, where "one or two" posts is like the CFP, a post for early  
bird registrations, and at most a last minute announcement such as this.

thanks,
Andrew
