About Asia Pacific Downunder Conference
In September 2006, Paydirt Media will host the first Asia Pacific Downunder Conference in Perth, Western Australia. This conference intends to follow the successful formula set by the Africa Downunder Conference, which has become an internationally respected event. Africa Downunder has, for the past three years, brought together miners, explorers and financiers from Australia and Africa to network and share experiences – with some remarkable success stories emerging. The intention is to do the same with Asia Pacific Downunder: to develop the conference as the premier forum for Australians and South East Asians to explore ways to further unlock the business opportunities and mining potential just waiting to be exposed. The 2006 Conference is being held on 21-22 September 2006 at the Sheraton Perth Hotel.
