About AWIA

The Australian Web Industry Association (AWIA), formally known as Port 80 Inc. was established in 2002 as a monthly industry evening for the web industry in WA. In 2004, Port 80 incorporated as a not-for-profit association with the following constitutional objectives:

  1. To further the advancement of the web industry within Australia;
  2. To educate the general public about the role of professionals in the web industry;
  3. To foster greater ties with like-minded organisations.

During the latter part of 2006, the committee decided to re-brand Port80 and become AWIA to better reflect the position in the industry the organisation wanted to take. Since then, AWIA has shown a steady growth in memberships from both WA and the eastern states. The organisation now has representatives in Canberra (ACT) and Melbourne (VIC), with Adelaide (SA), Sydney (NSW) and Brisbane (QLD) soon to follow.

AWIA has become one of the largest dedicated web industry association 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 forums have over 450 active participants and a total of over 40,000 posts. Our combined invitation list and forum membership is over 1400 people and increasing.
