WDYK (now) 2022

With in-person events returning, we're teaming up with some great Sydney meetups to resurrect What Do You Know, our long running event that features short, engaging presentations from new and established speakers on one thing they know really well.

What do you know now?

The theme for this year's event is what do you know now–whether as a designer, engineering, manager, product professional–what is something the last 3 years has taught you, you's like to share with your peers?

  • Who: for product, design and engineering professionals–anyone who works in Web and digital!
  • What: 10 x (strictly) 5 minute presentions
  • Where: Sydney CBD venue
  • When: 5:30pm for a 6:00pm Start, Thursday October 6th 2022

Propose your talk

It's just 5 short minutes, a great way to get some experience in front of a welcoming audience in a fun atmosphere. Or for experienced speakers iron out the creases of the last 3 years with a chance to get back on stage.

Keen to propose? It takes a couple of minutes! CFPs are open 'til September 9th.
