The event was held on Saturday 10th August 2019 at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Doors opened at 8:00am and we finished at 6:00pm followed by the afterparty at General Assembly.

$79 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 Melbourne 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.

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 may have a small number of bags on offer if you need, but it may also be prudent to bring your own bag.

MCEC has free wifi for all attendees limited to 512Kb download speed that needs to be renewed every hour.

The conference is now sold out.

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 Melbourne. Shoot us an email at [email protected] and we can work with you to figure out the best way to assist.

DDD Melbourne 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.

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