About this event
This years theme is “A better world” and will encourage all of us to ask how do we create a better world? Looking from inside out, join us for a night of reflection and hope about the future.
The Diversity Dinner is an evening social event with a Keynote and a Locknote speaker accompanied with a glorious multi course meal at the Duxton Hotel
This is a formal end of year celebration, so black tie (or something more colourful), pretty frocks or outrageous outfits are all welcome. We welcome all to our very popular diversity dinner.
Your team can then network directly with pipeline candidates for future roles in your workplace. There is a mix of junior developers, experienced technology professionals and students in attendance.
Keynote Speaker
Kate Kirwin, Founder of She Codes Australia
Kate is passionate about world changing ideas. Currently coordinating entrepreneur programs including hackathons, accelerators, and events. Founder of She Codes, a coding workshop for women dedicated to pathways for women to enter tech careers.
Locknote Speaker

Organisations have the option to give back
We encourage organisations to buy a table and put their own people on half the table and then give half the seats back so that ACS can gift them to people who cannot afford a seat at the table. We will seat as many students, junior devs or industry influencers at your table as you would like to have.
This is a great opportunity to meet potential star candidates or just get some great conversation and publicity from the event. Invest in Diversity - buy seats at the table for others.
To puchase a table please email vicki.leddin@acs.org.au
