SAGE-AU is the System Administration industry body in Australia.  It
exists to support all Australian system administrators, raise
awareness of the profession and provide education in technical and
professional issues.  Our yearly conference provides a forum for
System Administrators of all platforms and levels of experience to
gather together and share their experiences.  Further it provides an
excellent opportunity to meet and network with acknowledged experts in
the field.

We have 10 training sessions for our three day training program in
addition to 26 great sessions for our technical program.  This year
focusses on a mix of management and security topics with an emphasis
on sharing techniques and ideas rather than selling products.

This year's conference will be broken up into two streams of
concurrent talks, giving you more choice in the topics you want to
see.  To see our program visit:

conference ever, just by turning up and participating.  We look
forward to sharing this great conference with you.

Many thanks go to our Platinum Sponsors: Internode and Tas, our Gold
Sponsor: Ironport our Silver Sponsor: RedHat and our terminal room
