Australia's first conference for visual practitioners
Saturday, 13th October 2018
Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne, Australia
WHAT TO EXPECTEnergy, learning and fun! We'll start early (around 8:00am) at which point you can register and grab a coffee. The VizConf 2018 conference will be organised as an open space. This is a conference format that allows you to bring your own topic to present, or suggest topics for other conference attendees to present on. Based on the topics submitted, we'll co-create a schedule for the day.
Don't worry if you don't have a topic! We guarantee there will be a range of experienced, engaging practitioners with interesting presentations for you to enjoy, plus you'll have plenty of food and real coffee all day long. Relax and enjoy the talks and networking. At 5.00pm we'll wrap it up and head to a nearby bar. |
