FAQs
When and where is it?
The event will be held on Saturday 23rd November 2024 at University of Adelaide, North Terrace Campus. Doors will open at 8:10am and we'll finish at 5:10pm followed by the afterparty at TBD.
How much does it cost to attend?
$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 Adelaide is a non profit event and any excess will be kept as part of a fund for future events and/or donated to charity.
Is this just for software developers?
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.
How is the agenda chosen?
DDD Adelaide is a community driven event with core values of inclusion and democratic engagement. Proposed sessions are anonymised and voted for by the public, but some curation is inevitably required to produce an agenda that meets our inclusion goals. We aim to maximise the impact of every vote in the process, and always look to the community first in our decision making.
Will refreshments be provided?
Yes, attendees will receive lunch and snacks throughout the day and we will have a coffee cart operating all day.
What about swag?
Yes, there will be swag! Each attendee will be able to collect their swag from the check-in table as they check in, which will come in a small DDD tote bag. Along with this, our sponsors usually have a collection of shiny things at their booths - make sure to stop by for a chat!

How can I sponsor DDD Adelaide?
DDD Adelaide 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.
