Wellington, New Zealand
Tuesday 26
March, 2013
Leading web development company Xero are
thrilled to support the third WDCNZ conference, to be held
in Wellington on the 25 July. The event is getting bigger
and better each year and attracting attention around the
world.
WDCNZ - “Tech talks for web devs” - is a
full day conference with multiple streams covering the
bleeding edge of web development. The confirmed speaker
line-up includes luminaries of the web developer community
such as Julia Grace, Garann Means, Rob Conery and Zach
Holman - Details and programme available at wdcnz.com.
The event is a great
opportunity to mix with the speakers and other attendees.
Over 350 delegates are expected from around New Zealand and
Australia. There will also be a social event in the
evening.
With the conference having sold out in
previous years, the conference is being moved to the Michael
Fowler Centre, to accommodate demand. The Centre is
Wellington’s premier conference venue located in the CBD
close to retail, waterfront and with easy parking nearby.
WDCNZ has attracted sponsorship support so far from
Xero, Heyday, GitHub, Lil Regie and Campaign Monitor.
Further sponsorship opportunities are available by getting
in touch at sponsors@wdcnz.com
