Teams get more

Send a team of five or more to Summit and get even more. Register with the code team and for just $1195 per team member, you'll each get:

• A Silver pass for each attendee
• A licence to the videos from Summit 2019
• And we'll give your team recognition at the event, on screen and from the stage.

But wait! If you sign up a team of 8 or more, you'll get all this plus:

• A complementary place at our Culture (taking place the day before Summit), ideal for team leaders.

All for the price of a classic ticket to the event. Remember just register with the code team.

Huge Freelance, Startup and Not for Profit discounts

We strive to make our events as affordable as possible, and so have a limited number of specially priced tickets for Charitable Not For Profits, early stage (pre Round A) startups and freelancers.

If that's you, use the code nfp, startup or freelance to get a silver ticket for just $799.

Not sure if you qualify? Drop us a line, we try to be as generous as possible.

2-for-1 Pricing for Juniors

We know Junior developers and Designers aren't always the first to be sent to events like our conferences (our research shows the median experience of our attendees is around 7 years, so very far from junior.)

But we feel there's as much value for a junior developer or designer (and equally their employer) in attending our events as there is a more senior professional.

So, for 2019, we're doing something to make it easier for juniors to attend Web Directions Summit: Two-for-one pricing for juniors.

If you're keen to get your juniors inspired, excited, and up to date with the latest in their profession, just use the code 'junior' when you register them, and you'll get half price Silver tickets (so they'll get access to all the videos as well).

Masterclass: How to be Clear: The Elements of Content Design with Jonathon Colman

On October 30, the day before Summit, spend a day with Jonathon Colman, content strategist extraordinaire.

Designing content is hard because writing for people is hard. And writing for mobile apps and experiences is even harder still. How do you find the right voice, develop effective principles and standards, and agree with people on what you mean when you say what you say?

This workshop gives you the tools and experiences you need to make content design easier, faster, better, and more manageable in your organization. You’ll leave with the knowledge and frameworks you need to scale your content design across all of your interactive products, websites, and other experiences as your organization grows.

What you’ll learn

Content doesn’t mean “write the words” any more than design means “make it pretty.” When you design content, you‘re creating an experience with words. That’s why this workshop covers:

• A complete, end-to-end process for approaching content design for websites and apps
• A process for discovering your organization’s core values—and use them to guide all of your content
• A model for designing content from high-level principles to standards all the way down to individual terms
• A way to conduct—and get the most out of—the design critique process so that you can iterate on your work and build strong teams

Who it’s for

This workshop is best for the people who make content happen in your organization: writers, designers, product managers, information architects, and marketers.

When and Where?

The workshop will take place from 9am to 5pm (registration from 8:30am)

The workshop will be held at the Adina Town Hall, 511 Kent Street, Sydney NSW 2000

About Us

Co-founded and now run by John Allsopp, Web Directions has for over a decade brought together leading developers, engineers, visual, IxD, UX and product designers, Art and Creative Directors, product managers indeed everyone involved in producing web and digital products to learn from one another, and the World's leading experts across this vast field.

We spend our lives thinking about what comes next, keeping up with trends in technology, practices and processes, and filtering the hype, to make sure you don't miss trends that matter, and don't waste time on hype that doesn't.

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.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we're switching things up a bit for 2020. We'll be organising Product, Design, and Code as online conferences, and our annual extravaganza, Web Directions Summit will take place in Sydney as soon as it is practicable in late 2020 or early 2021.
