Convince the Boss

Need help convincing your boss of the value of investing in you attending Web Directions Summit? Download our Convince the Boss, and forward it along, or print it out and hand it to whoever makes these decisions!

Can't convince the boss?

We've got your back. If for whatever reason you can't convince the boss so have to pay your own way, we'll extend you the freelance price of just $795. Just use the code 'freelance' when you register.

Attend together

Teams get more

Send a team of five or more to Summit and get even more. Register with the code team and for just $1295 per team member, you'll each get:

A Silver pass for each attendee
A licence to the videos from Summit 2018
A licence to the videos from our Code and Design 2018 conferences
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.
A 2 Hour session with Web Directions founder, John Allsopp, for your whole team (even those not attending Summit!) Hear John's thoughts on what's critical to focus on in the world of digital product and service design, development and delivery. The session can take place in person, or online. John's insights are in demand at conferences like Smashing, Beyond Tellerand, and Fluent as well as by companies around the world.

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

Special pricing

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 and freelancers. If you qualify, use the code nfp 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.

Support Diversity–buy a diversity ticket

At Web Directions we've long had a diversity scholarship program, and with a bigger venue, the opportunity to expand the scholarship means you can directly support the scholarship. How? By purchasing part or all of a diversity ticket.

How does it work?

We've priced diversity tickets at $795, so half the price of a full priced ticket. You can purchase

a quarter of a diversity ticket for just $195
a half of a diversity ticket for just $395
a whole diversity ticket (or multiple tickets) at $795 each.

We select candidates who apply, including a number from outside Sydney (we cover airfare and accomodation for them as well).

All you have to do is select the level of support–a quarter, half or whole of a ticket (or multiple tickets if you're feeling generous). We'll take care of the rest, and recognise your support, should you wish, at the conference.

Purchase a Diversity Ticket

About Us

Co-founded and now run by John Allsopp, Web Directions has for over 15 years 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, 2021 (and beyond). We're delivering 6 highly focussed front end development conferences online.

And, our annual extravaganza, Web Directions Summit returns to Sydney in December 2022, bigger and better than ever.
