The Australian Web Industry Association (AWIA)

Formed in 2002 to unite web industry professionals across Australia, AWIA's purpose is to keep members up to date with news, events, resources and best practice, and to build trust and understanding of the Australian web industry.

AWIA has become one of the largest dedicated web industry associations of its kind in Australia. Our monthly networking meetings regularly attract 40-60 individuals from varying cross-sections of the web industry, our occasional speaking events have attracted 150-200 attendees each, and our online communities (Facebook, Twitter, Slack, LinkedIn and Meetups) have over 7,000 active participants and a total of over 40,000 posts.

Looking for a web professional?

Melbourne Java and JVM Users Group @ Location is shown only to members
Mar 2 @ 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm
The MelbJVM group discusses the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Topics covered are frameworks and languages on the platform. Many of our members are software developers using the Java language and looking to find out what’s new, and what they can bring to their own projects, bringing up to date techniques and software technologies to the perennial development platform. Our members range from those new to programming, students and testers looking to move into development, all the way to those who have been using Java since it was called Oak (did you even know Java used to be called Oak?). Membership is free. It costs nothing to attend most nights thanks to the generosity of our sponsors. We meet once a month in the CBD. Whether you are developing on the JVM or just curious to see what its like, and regardless if you are based in Melbourne or just stopping through please register, we’d be happy to have you. Look forward to seeing you at a future meetup!
