Cyber Week is kicking off in Melbourne and runs 14 to 18 November at Stone & Chalk on King Street. Then the hottest tickets in town are NFT Fest from 23 to 24 November at the Alex Theatre St Kilda. Wrapping up the year is the Pause Awards Night and Afterparty on 5 December at BOND Melbourne.
Connect with DIF from home and catch up on festival events via DIF On Demand, including the Churchill Club 2022 Top Tech Trends Debate and the Women in Sportstech panel hosted by the Australian Sports Technologies Network.
If you're planning your events, remember that the DIF Festival is confirmed for 2023 and 2024. Save the dates for next year - 23 August to 6 September 2023 - as we'd love to have you be part of our eighth festival.
