Get Involved

The DIF provides an opportunity for people to be involved in a variety of ways.

Registering your interest is your opportunity to contribute and shape this year's festival program. We are interested in potential event hosts, speaker, partners, sponsors or volunteers.

Register your interest

Ways to get involved

Event Host - You already have an event planned or you want to host an event we invite you to register to be included in the calendar.

Event co-host - You are not quite sure you want to lead an event but would like to collaborate with another organisation as partners.

Speaker - You are keen to share your experience and knowledge and present at a DIF event as a speaker, panellist or MC.

Sponsor - Your organisation is interested in sponsoring the festival or events, through either in-kind or financial support.

Venue - Your organisation has access to a venue you would like to offer to potential event hosts to run their activities. Example venues include coworking spaces, boardrooms, auditoriums and libraries in the CBD, metropolitan Melbourne or regional Victoria.

Volunteer - You are keen to be involved in the actual running of the festival or key events and are able to volunteer your time and expertise. Students are encouraged to be involved.

Audience - You just want to know what's on the calendar and about any special offers to attend events as an audience member.
