When I first attended in 2005 this conference was called MXDU and was only about Macromedia products. Last year post-merger it was re-branded webDu and we saw the introduction of some token sessions on non-Adobe topics. This year there was a much wider range of non-Adobe topics. But the keynotes were definitely Adobe all the way. I guess my biggest complaint would be that the keynotes aren't keynotes (most keynotes are used to set a theme that sessions then explore) but really product teasers. We use a lot of Adobe technologies at work and consequently the dominance of Adobe works for us. But it would be great to see webDu evolve to be more representative of what is happening in the Australian web development community. This would also make it easier to justify come budget time.

Yeah, the whole day was defiantly run with a massive Adobe sales pitch. Which was fine, if it was labeled a 'Adobe Tech Conference', but it was labeled 'The Web Tech Conference' - and really all the web technologies that were looked at were 80% Adobe, but then again - thats why you have a Gold Sponsor...

Yes the Coldfusion Community is a little -'tight'. Personally I think there was too much Adobe hype. Its was more than a rip of the FCK Editor, it was the same editor.
