Developer Developer Developer (DDD) Melbourne is a free to attend community conference aimed at .NET Developers to be held on Saturday the 15th of May at the NAB academy in Docklands. Speakers for the conference submit topics via the Submit session page and the actual sessions for the event will be decided by delegates voting through the website.

The conference will open for registration around 08.00 and finish at 17:30, with multiple streams running concurrently through the day.

With Code camp Oz not running in April this year, this will be the first community event in Australia after the Visual Studio 2010 launch and we expect quite a few presentations on VS 2010, SL 4 and Windows Phone 7. Sessions are typically of 1 hour duration, but watch out for the shorter sessions and lightning talks.

DDD Melbourne is:

• Free!
• Run on a Saturday so no need to get time off work
• Open - sessions can be proposed by anyone and the agenda is constructed by delegates votes
• A great place to learn and network
• Very likely to provide a free refreshments and lunch (TBC)
• Supported by sponsors such as DevExpress & Redgate
• Run by the community for the community

So what now? DDD events operate in a number of stages and registration is not open yet but we are looking for session submissions so what are you waiting for?

• Stage 1 – Call for content (Now!)
• Stage 2 – Voting and registration opens (April 12th)
• Stage 3 – Voting closes and agenda published (April 19th)
