CustomWare do (along with other things) wiki consulting with
Atlassian's Confluence. Apparently not in a notable way though...

I got in contact with James who works there after discovering he was
organising wiki wednesdays in Sydney (starting a couple of years ago,
but so far not regularly).

There wasn't a lot of promotion except for the usual mentions on blogs
and twitter. I expect that having it at Atlassian's office helped
since a lot of their staff showed up. It was quite a surprising
turnout considering the last one consisted of about 6 people meeting
in a bar!
