​

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.​
 

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!

​

We also want to support our attendees who are experiencing hardship. If you need to access a reduced price ticket in order to attend please reach out to one of the GDG Melbourne organisers on the GDG Slack to obtain a discount code.

 

With your DevFest ticket you get:
 

  • 24 talks across 3 streams covering Android, Flutter, ML, AI, Design, Testing & Non-technical topics
     

  • World class speakers from Google, Microsoft, industry and community speakers
     

  • Full day conference and after party drinks
     

  • Conference t-shirt*
     

  • Excellent lunch, morning and afternoon tea provided
     

  • Multiple door prize giveaways during the day
     

  • Expo booths during breaks so attendees can experience demos and talk to industry professionals
     

  • Women Techmakers pre DevFest dinner on Thursday 7th November - Exclusive networking opportunity for attendees and speakers who identify as female or non-binary
     

  • Networking opportunities throughout the day and at the after party with potential clients or colleagues 

​
