After a recent thread enquiring about OZTek '07; I have posted the lastest release below.

Cheers Jason

Australia....the land of the "banana benders"

G'Day, Folks,

OZtek'07 (17-18 March 2007 at Australian Technology Park, in Sydney, Australia) is growing in leaps and bounds. (See Website at: www.diveoztek.com.au )
A lot has been happening "behind the scenes" over the last couple of months and we look forward to welcoming you all to the largest OZTeK ever.
Both the exhibitor list and the names of the confirmed speakers continue to grow and we remind you that with less than 8 months to go, it's recommended that you start booking your travel, accommodation and conference tickets now. We don't want to see anyone disappointed.

EXHIBITOR NEWS:
-------------------------
We now have over 2/3s of the Floor Space booked, with all of the major Dive Training Agencies & Equipment Wholesalers on board.
We are pleased to welcome back many past OZTeK Exhibitors, and equally thrilled to see many overseas companies again returning to Australia. And with a raft of new products on display for the first time at the Exhibition, it confirms the fact that OZTeK'07 has, in global diving terms, come of age and returns a distinct benefit to exhibitors.
For an up to date list of Exhibitors please bookmark the OZTeK'07 Floorplan
(http://www.diveoztek.com.au/floorplan.html) and make sure to check regularly to see the latest additions.
Exhibitor details and contact information can be seen at http://www.diveoztek.com.au/exhibitors.html.

Jarrod Jablonski is an avid explorer, researcher, author, and instructor teaching and diving in oceans and caves around the world.
