Web Directions Careers

What is Careers?

The Web, technology, design, the dynamic world of startups and existing technology and design focussed companies offer enormous career opportunities. But whether you're still at school, college or university, just starting out your career, looking to change directions, or step up within the fields of technology and design, knowing the right pathways, and directions to take can be baffling.

Web Directions Careers aims to help you navigate your way into and through the world of technology and design. You'll hear from established professionals about the sorts of roles available, and the educational and other choices that can help you get there. You'll meet with educators and advisors at Universities, TAFE, colleges and other education providers to help you make the right choices for the places you want to go. And you'll meet with potential employers, from brand new startups, to the big end of town.

All set inside an inspiring atmosphere of Australian innovation.

About Us

The technology world is full of hype and fads (as well as the real next thing). The challenge is deciding what's hype, and what's reality. That's where we come in. We spend our life thinking about what's happening, and what's coming next. And what's not worth your time now, or maybe ever.

Web Directions founder John Allsopp's ideas have been acknowledged as the foundation for Responsive Web Design, and helped pave the way for the web fonts revolution and Typekit. Our conferences have seen the announcement to the world of such key ideas as The New Aesthetic (2012), Object Oriented CSS (2009) and Progressive Web Apps (2015).

We promise attending one of our events will leave you significantly better versed in the challenges you face day to day, and in solutions for addressing them.

In 2017, we'll be organising Respond in Sydney and Melbourne, Transform in Canberra, Code in Melbourne, Web Directions AI in Sydney and The Web Directions Summit in Sydney.

His writing includes two books, including Developing With Web Standards and countless articles and tutorials in print and online publications.

His "A Dao of Web Design" published in 2000 is cited by Ethan Marcotte as a key influence in the development of Responsive Web Design, who's rightly acclaimed article in 2010 begins by quoting John in detail, and by Jeremy Keith as "a manifesto for anyone working on the Web".
