Inspired by all the great information and atmosphere at Web 2.0 Expo, we're hosting a free event in Sydney and Melbourne for Australians. Part of the aim is for interested Australian web 2.0-ers to share some of the ideas and excitement that came out of Web 2.0 Expo.

Information follows:
Come along to "PubCamp - The Web 2.0 Media Day - A Conference and Unconference".

It's a free event about the future of media and the Web covering Web 2.0, social and citizen media, the semantic web, mobile, widgets, online advertising and revenue models, copyright, cross-media and more.

You might have heard of BarCamp. Interested in where media is heading? Then PubCamp is for you!

* Immerse yourself in good ideas with smart people in an information-packed afternoon and evening.

* Share leading-edge insights into where the Web and online media are heading and explore case studies and examples from around the world.

* Be part of a conversation and debate with other people working in media and online.

* Find out how other people are approaching the challenges, and take part in open panel and workshop discussions.

PubCamp - The Web 2.0 Media Day is free to attend and has two parts. A formal conference and briefing seminar with traditional sessions runs from 3-5pm, and an open "unconference" designed to foster community and conversation runs from 6-8pm. Everyone is welcome to attend either or both, and there's a networking session with drinks and nibbles from 5-6pm.

The event will be available online if you can't make it in person.

Get involved and bring along colleagues and friends. If you have topics you'd like to see covered, ideas for presentations, or want to start a conversation, then the Unconference is your chance. It's open for everyone. To nominate sessions or find out more go to the website.

Please pass on an invitation to anyone you think might want to be involved too.

Seats are limited, so RSVP early.
