Our Conferences
Software Education's world-class conferences are 'not-to-be-missed' opportunities to keep up with leading industry trends and developments, locally and internationally.
“Software Development Conference” or SDC as we all call it now, is one of the region’s well established conferences. Aimed specifically at Business Analysts, SDC features some of the world’s “best minds” in these two fields – the format involves bringing some top names “down under” specifically to share their thinking with participants. Past speakers include Steve McConnell, Ed Yourdon, Tim Lister, Roger Pressman, Rob Thomsett and Jim Highsmith. Always stimulating, the two-day event runs back to back in New Zealand and Australia. Vendor free, rich content from world-class speakers, superb networking opportunities, well organised and executed – SDC is the leader in quality conferences for business analysts. The next SDC runs in Wellington on 23 - 24 March 2009 and Melbourne on 26 - 27 March 2009.
“Software Testing Australia/New Zealand” or STANZ is the largest independent event for software testers in the southern hemisphere. Always a minimum of 4 keynote speakers from USA/Europe/Canada (5 in 2008!) plus local contributors carefully picked. Unparalleled networking opportunities, multiple streams, tool exhibition and a wide range of testing topics, STANZ is a wonderful learning opportunity if you’re a software tester. It’s designed and brought to you by a company that really understands software testing, rather than just outsourced to a conference company, so you know the care and attention that has gone into the event. Growing rapidly and well reviewed. Strongly recommended! Next dates are 11 - 12 August 2009 in Wellington, repeated in Sydney on 14 - 15 August 2009.
