There are still some free tickets left for the "Big data, big 
opportunity" conference, at the Australian National University in 
Canberra, Wednesday, 19 November 2014: 
http://crawfordphd.wikispaces.com/PhD+Conference+2014#Big%20Data,%20Big%20Opportunity

This features Pia Waugh, Director of Coordination and Gov 2.0, 
Australian Government. This is a PHD conference, where the program is 
mostly research students presenting their work in short snappy 
presentations (along with some keynotes by celebrities).

Here is my pick of the student talks:

1030 ‘Putting a Value On It’. The value that New Zealand educational 
entrepreneurs plan to create, Steve Thomas
1100 Applying reinforcement learning to single and multi-agent economic 
problems, Neal Hughes
