    Once inside the party, the well-lit main bar was easy to locate. ZDNet.com.au attended the conference as a guest of Cisco Systems.

    The organisers didn't forget the bloodsports, although the enormous boxing gloves were difficult to lift, let alone sock another delegate with. ZDNet.com.au was exhausted after trying a round in the ring.

    Remote controlled cars sometimes went racing off into the rest of the party, to be followed by the embarrassed controller, or disappeared under the wooden stands opposite despite the carefully placed orange barrier.

    Food came along on trays or in stands with poor puns.

    The wordplay didn't end at the food. There was a horse race going on where delegates would research digital horses on the internet and bet. It seemed popular, although it was not obvious whether there was any prize for winning. Did anyone know exactly how it worked?
