What can you expect from a YOW! conference?

YOW! is a pinnacle of tech excellence uniting global experts, product innovators, and visionary leaders. Having spoken and participated, I can attest to YOW!'s unmatched allure. Meticulously curated sessions, opportunities for casual networking over delightful meals, and a uniquely immersive attendee/speaker experience allowed for connections to flourish, friendships to spark, and collective wisdom to bloom.

YOW! is my favourite conference every year. It has the best curation of speakers from around the world, bringing real world lessons and wisdom. It’s also a great place to catch up with other professions and meet new ones. I always come away from a YOW! Conference energised and inspired.

I generally dislike flying for work. So I REALLY like YOW! bringing in speakers I wouldn’t have access to locally. I feel YOW’s unique to the Australian tech conference scene, offering the big ideas and higher order thinking around software development. For me, it’s the conference for Leaders in technology and where I gain inspiration from the most.
