Then don’t miss the 2019 DevFest: It’s a fun & welcoming not-for-profit conference, made for and run by developers and led by GDG Melbourne. This year we are partnering with the awesome YOW! (also a not-for-profit) to bring together world-class speakers to stimulate your mind and put on an even better event.
The DevFest is powered by a shared belief that when developers come together to exchange ideas, amazing things can happen! Join a vibrant and diverse community where everyone can network, share knowledge and enjoy the experience.ā
Diversity and inclusion is a big initiative for us in GDG Melbourne. In partnership with Women Techmakers we will have a special event for attendees and speakers identifying as female or non-binary on Thursday 7th November.
More communication to come about this - but note, you will need a ticket to DevFest to attend!
