Philip Minter, National President of the Australian New Zealand Chambers of Commerce USA, is visiting Australia until the end of June. He is keen to talk to industry and government people about IT trade with the USA and he can be contacted at: anzus@libertynet.org

Philip will talk at a free seminar in Canberra, on Wednesday, June 21, 2000, 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Room N101, CSIT Building [108], Australian National University:

I will talk about the Australian IT presence in America with particular emphasis on the 15 regional chambers of commerce in various US cities. Their non-profit mission is to promote commercial trade and cultural ties between Australia, New Zealand and the United States. Members are experienced leaders in international commerce, trade, tourism, communications, and government services. Activities have included trade and investment seminars, breakfasts and receptions for Australian and New Zealand dignitaries and business leaders visiting Philadelphia, business roundtables, and hosting the national conference. ANZUS business functions provide avenues to network with local and "down under" business people.

After the seminar, join Philip for a drink and informal discussion of the issues. Or just come to the drinks and skip the seminar. ;-)

IRCs are free (but you have to buy your own drinks and one for the special guest) and open to anyone interested: just turn up. Internet Reality Check (not to be confused with Internet Relay Chat) is designed so that members of the 'net community can meet and exchange the small amount of very important information which is not suitable for digital transmission. ;-)
