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.
[Financial Assistance] What if I can't afford to attend?
If you can't afford the ticket price then we have Sponsored (Financial Assistance) tickets available. DDD Adelaide is donating 10 such tickets and we also have an option for people within the community to donate further tickets. The only requirement for eligibility is that you can't afford the ticket; you can access the Financial Assistance tickets by contacting us.
- Already attended a conference in the past? That's ok.
- Already received a sponsored ticket in the past? Still ok.
- Don't have much (or any) experience with the technology featured at DDD Adelaide? That’s ok, too.
- Don't want to take money away from someone else? Really, it’s ok, everyone says that!
- Don't feel like you deserve this? That’s also ok: you do.
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 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.
Will there be wifi?
University of Adelaide has free wifi for all attendees.
When does registration open?
Registration opens on Thursday 1st August 2024 at 8:00AM.
Can I pay by cheque, invoice, cash?
Payments can be made with credit card using Tito via our tickets page when registrations are open. Companies that want to buy bulk tickets (> 10) can contact us to pay by invoice (EFT).
Can I cancel/give my ticket to someone else?
You are welcome to send someone else in your place. Please do this through Tito.

How can I contact the organisers?

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.
