FAQs

The event will be held on Saturday 21st September 2019. Doors will open at 8:10am and we'll finish at 5:10pm.

We won't be having a sponsored afterparty this year, unfortunately the cost of doing so exceeds our available funds. We will be heading somewhere after the event though so keep an eye out for the details as to where (you'll just have to buy your own beer).

~$60 covers your entry, food and coffee all day and access to the afterparty! Amazing value right!? We are able to keep the ticket price so low thanks to our generous sponsors. DDD Sydney is a non profit event and any excess will be kept as part of a fund for future events and/or donated to charity.

No! While our name implies we are just about devs, our events are aimed at all professionals in the software industry - developers, testers, designers, analysts, managers, etc.

Yes, attendees will receive lunch and snacks throughout the day and we will have a coffee cart operating all day. We usually will also have a couple of small snacks in the showbags.

Yes, there will be a bunch of swag on offer on the day both from our swag table as well as with the various sponsors that will have booths. We have decided not to offer showbags this year as they often end up resulting in a lot of waste; this way attendees can choose the swag they want. We will have a small number of bags on offer if you need, but it may also be prudent to bring your own bag.

Unfortunately this year we are unable to offer childcare facilities. If this is something you'd like to see at a DDD Sydney event please let us know so we can understand the the demand for our future events.

We are always looking for volunteers and sometimes looking for organisers! It takes a lot of effort to organise a volunteer-run conference like DDD Sydney. Shoot us an email at team@dddsydney.com.au and we can work with you to figure out the best way to assist.

DDD Sydney will be heavily publicised in the community and we believe offers a unique marketing and recruiting opportunity based on being attended by people that don't normally get to go to conferences. It's also a great chance to give back and support the local software community. We have various levels of sponsorship available with various benefits and price points. We have a sponsorship prospectus that will be provided on request that explains detailed benefits and impact of sponsorship and the difference between the various levels; if you would like a copy please contact us.

Sydney has a very active software community. Consider attending one of the meetups/conferences such as:
