Live Streaming
After great success in 2022, to be as inclusive as possible we'll again live stream Summit in 2023
Not everyone is ready, or able to get back to in-person events. Others find online conferences provide greater accessibility. So we'll be streaming Summit' 23, on our very own streaming platform Conffab.
Drawing on our lessons of hosting over a dozen online conferences in recent years, streaming attendees will be able to interact with in-person attendees, ask speakers questions, and feel a close as possible without being at the venue.
Our venue
Web Directions Summit 2023 will take place in October at the International Convention Centre, Sydney, in Darling Harbour.
Getting there:
There are numerous public transport options, and parking available on site.
Accommodation:
If you're coming from out of town, there are many hotel and serviced apartment style accomodation options in Darling Harbour, and otherwise close by.
