XConf Australia 2022 - Brisbane | Thoughtworks | 22 August 2022 | Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, Glenelg St, South Brisbane QLD 4101, Australia

This is an annual technology event created by technologists for technologists. Our fifth showcase is back in-person this year, and we are delighted to invite you to join us for a robust agenda of talks from local thought leaders and Thoughtworks technologists as they explore this year’s theme Making tech better, together.

We’ll have insightful discussions around technical leadership for everyone, reviving the dying art of software design, improving digital accessibility, and heaps more. Our speakers will share their first-hand experience and exchange new ways to tackle some of the toughest challenges technologists and businesses face today.

What To Learn:
- Discover emerging technologies, practices and tools to take back to your organisation and deliver greater impact.
- Get the latest insights and ideas from the Thoughtworks tech community.
- Network and build connections with like-minded and passionate technologists.
- All ticket proceeds will go to Indigitek, a not-for-profit organization that aims to create technology employment pathways for First Nations Peoples.
