From Wednesday 23 August to Wednesday 6 September 2023, Victoria’s flagship tech festival will feature 2 weeks of events including hot debates, deep dives on the latest trends, insights from experts and networking opportunities.

Key events featured this year include the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) Cyber Debate,  Churchill Club Top Tech Trends debate, Intersekt/23 FinTech Australia and Pearcey Oration & Victorian Entrepreneur of the Year Award just to name a few.

With accessibility in mind, DIF2023 Festival will also showcase a dynamic, hybrid events program so that everyone can experience the festival. Expect a mix of in-venue, live-stream and on-demand events, ensuring widespread participation for all.

In-person events will be hosted across the state, from panels discussions and debates to hackathons and conferences. And the DIF Hubs are back in Docklands at the Australian Computer Society, in Cremorne at the Cremorne Digital Hub and in Carlton at Melbourne Connect. Plus, DIF On Demand will continue to provide content for those on the go.

The DIF team is also delighted to announce the launch of DIF Live – a twice-daily online learning opportunity that connects you with Victoria’s innovators, thinkers and makers. Find out more about attending a Lunch’n’Learn or DIF Download session.

Mark your calendars from August 23 to September 6, as the DIF2023 Festival will be an inspiring journey that shines a light on Victoria’s digital ecosystem and invites all Victorians to be a part of the state’s tech community and digital economy.
