We’ve brought together some brilliant female and non-binary minds from UX, game development and programming to libraries and Linux!
Join us for an online Q&A at 6pm. Our guests will talk about their careers, advice for those looking to enter tech and digital work, and answers to our burning questions!
Please remember that attendees at online events are bound by the Deakin Code of Conduct.
