About the Event
This year DDD Perth will be running an in-person event, and all speakers will be required to be there on the day. We pride ourself on the experiences for both speakers and attendees and are unable to replicate the "DDD Perth Experience" in a virtual event or with a remote or pre-recorded presentations.
We are asking a number of optional demographic questions to allow us to report on our efforts to promote diversity of submissions.

DDD Perth is an inclusive, accessible, non-profit conference for the Perth software community.
In the past we've had a huge range of presentations which include the following topics (to name a few): Agile, UI/UX and Design, Mental Health and Personal Development, Testing, ML and AI, Accessibility, Security, Architecture and Design Patterns, Workplace Culture, Cloud, DevOps CI/CD, Mobile, IoT, Front End and JavaScript, APIs...
Don’t let this list limit you though, if you think your presentation is relevant to the industry, submit it! DDD Perth selects its agenda through a combination of blind, community sourced voting and a curated agenda by the DDD Committee based on broader community demand.
Before submitting a presentation please consider the following:
We have an enforced code of conduct to ensure a friendly atmosphere. This must be accepted to submit to DDD Perth.
We have anonymous presentation voting; we will only show the title, abstract and tags of a talk to voters to remove unconscious bias and ensure the most relevant and wanted talks are selected for the agenda
If your talk has any identifying details, we will remove/replace them before opening voting
You will likely be speaking to an audience of between 50-200 people.
You are welcome to submit a talk with a co-presenter or two.
You are welcome to submit at most 2 unique talks. If you have multiple presentations voted in, we will only select one to be on the agenda
This year we have two presentation sizes to choose from:
- 20 minutes (roughly 15 minutes of speaking
- 45 minutes (roughly 40 minutes of speaking)
Presentations are not a sales pitch although you are welcome to have a slide or two about yourself and your company.
Once the talks are accepted, we'll run speaker training sessions, to provide you with presentation tips and feedback. If you are a first time speaker it will be mandatory to attend one speaker training session to ensure your best performance at the conference!
We will open voting about prior to the event. If your presentation gets voted in and you agree to present, then this is a serious commitment.
Even if your talk doesn't get voted in, we may ask you to be a backup speaker. This means you get to go through the same speaker training as the other speakers, and if one of them pulls out or can't make it, you'll may get a chance to present on the day
Questions? Fire off an email and we'll get right back to you :)
