Partner with WA's largest community-run software conference.
DDD Perth brings up to 1,500 technologists together every year at Optus Stadium — a senior, hard-to-reach audience that doesn't typically attend industry conferences. Sponsor us and reach them where they actually show up.
Why DDD Perth is different
Founded in 2015 by Rob Moore and Matt Davies, and run since 2018 by DDD WA Inc — a registered not-for-profit. Every principle widens the audience, and that's what makes sponsorship valuable.
Not-for-profit and community-first
Run entirely by volunteers under DDD WA Inc. Every dollar of sponsorship goes back into the event and the WA technology community.
Low ticket pricing by design
Sponsorship subsidises tickets well below the per-person cost. Attendees don't need PD budget approval, which removes a major barrier to attendance.
Open CFP with public voting
Anyone can submit a talk — for free — and attendees vote on the agenda. The committee uses that input to shape the final program, which drives real engagement with everything around it, including sponsors.
Free CFP and presentation coaching
We coach first-time and emerging speakers at no cost. That's how we keep finding the voices other conferences miss.
Saturday event
Holding the conference on a Saturday opens the door to students, hobbyists, career-changers and people whose employers don't sponsor PD — broadening the audience well beyond the usual circuit.
Safe, inclusive, welcoming
A strong code of conduct, captioning, quiet room and accessibility-first thinking creates an environment that attracts a diverse audience and repeat attendees year on year.
Who you'll reach
Opt-in attendee data from recent DDD Perth events gives a clear picture of the 2026 audience — a mature, highly engaged technology community.
Senior and technical
Strong representation of senior engineers, leads and technical experts — the people making architecture, hiring and tooling decisions.
Practitioners and decision-makers
A mix of hands-on builders and the people who set direction — both audiences in one room.
Across industries
Attendees come from technology, mining, healthcare, education, government and professional services — sectors that anchor the WA economy.
They come back
High repeat-attendance rates year on year, so your brand compounds with every event you sponsor.
Ethical, opt-in data
Post-event contact data is shared only with attendees' explicit consent — a list worth engaging because everyone on it has asked to hear from sponsors.
A diverse and growing community
Strong gender representation among speakers and ongoing partnerships with Women in Tech WA and She Codes. Sponsorship directly supports these outcomes.
What sponsorship looks like on the day
Optus Stadium gives us room to do this properly. Sponsors get genuine on-site presence, not just a logo on a slide.
Brand exposure across the stadium
Logo and video placement on Optus Stadium's large-format screens, across event signage, and in opening and closing remarks.
Exhibition spaces and activations
Dedicated booth space for higher-tier sponsors, with room to run demos, competitions and interactive experiences attendees actually want to engage with.
Year-round social promotion
Social media coverage before, during and after the event — not just on conference day.
Website and mobile app
Inclusion on the DDD Perth website and the official event app that attendees use to plan their day.
Opt-in attendee contacts
Access to the post-event opt-in list for follow-up — hiring, product, community, however suits you.
Optional AV packages
Platinum, Gold and Room sponsors can add a professional AV setup for their space, with full setup and pack-down handled for you.

We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
