Web Directions AI

In the early days of the Web we helped shape the industry in Australia, bringing together the leaders who went on to create companies like Canva, Campaign Monitor and countless others.

Now as AI begins to transform society as the Web has done, we're doing it again.

Join us at the start of this journey.

Get up to speed with the generative AI revolution

For almost 20 years Web Directions has helped web and digital professionals stay up to date with the technologies and practices of delivering world class experiences.

We've long covered AI and machine learning at our conferences and started Web Directions AI in 2017. In 2023, we'll dive deep into generative AI, and the opportunities for business, marketing, the creative professions and beyond.

Join us in Sydney very soon.
