Victoria's tech community is bustling with a calendar full of dynamic events. From The Startup Network’s Future Horizons Festival to Cybercon’s insights, we’re showcasing our innovation and diversity like never before.

As we transition through the seasons, the Digital Innovation Futures (DIF) is taking a significant leap forward. Moving beyond our traditional festival, we're now engaging our community with technology throughout the entire year.

The DIF Festival, having catalyzed over 700 events and engaged 130,000 participants, has successfully achieved its mission, thanks to the countless speakers, partners, and hosts who've celebrated Victoria's tech vibrancy over the past eight years.

Our journey of celebrating our ecosystem’s groundbreaking achievements continues with a renewed focus. This evolution enables us to spotlight Victoria's tech excellence and foster connections year-round.

This year, we’re excited to highlight Victorians at various awards, including the TechDiversity and Infoxchange NFP Tech Awards, AIIA Victorian iAwards, and the Pause Awards.

As we embark on new beginnings, DIF is ready to introduce initiatives that will integrate Victoria’s digital ecosystem with the global stage even more closely. This complements our DIF partner events program returning this year including, the Churchill Top Tech Trends Debate, Pearcey Oration, Public Libraries Victoria Showcase, Women in Emerging Tech, and Fintech Australia’s Intersekt Festival. 

The DIF Online Hub remains your gateway to Victoria's vibrant tech scene, offering an ever-expanding collection of events, news, and opportunities. If someone forwarded you this email, sign up and stay in the loop.
