One of our favourite things about DDD Perth is that the community votes for the agenda they want, removing the subjectivity of us having to choose an agenda for you.

But as DDD Perth has grown, so have the number of talks that people have to vote for, to the point where we have close to 200 talk abstracts that need to be read and narrowed down to a shortlist of 10, an impossible and time consuming task!

This year, as with every year, we're trying a different way of collecting your votes; enter "Tinder for voting" where you're infinitely choosing one of two randomly selected talks.

Join us as we delve into the mysterious world that is the DDD Perth voting system, how is it built and what is the secret spice algorithm that is working behind it all. Find out how the new voting relates to chess and cream filled biscuits, and most importantly whether it actually works (you tell us, you're using it right now!)
