Recap of an Awesome DDD Perth Event

Rachael Goodenough -

MakeX had an amazing time at DDD Perth! The vibe was electric, and we loved all of the conversations with folks at the MakerX booth! It was a great opportunity to introduce our awesome lineup of MakerX venture specialists from both Australia and the USA, who shared their knowledge and advice with up-and-coming entrepreneurs.

MakerX travels from all around the globe 

Our Makers came from around the world to attend DDD Perth. Having everyone together is what made the day truly special. It was a fantastic chance to connect, collaborate, and celebrate our shared love for technology and community. Although we are a remote first company, there is nothing quite like seeing everyone in person.

Celebrating Ten Years of DDD Perth

Matt and Rob, our co-founders, celebrated a decade since they started DDD Perth. They shared their journey on a panel about DDD Perth becoming a major part of the local tech community. Their dedication to creating an inclusive tech scene was super inspiring and we’d loved hearing their anecdotes about all the things that went right, along with all the things that went wrong, like when a projector broke and they had to carry a tv in mid talk for one of the speakers...

Maker Presentations

We were also treated to some fantastic talks by our Makers,  Donna Spencer and Wade Baglin. Donna’s chat on "Structuring Content so it's Findable and Usable" was packed with tips on making user-friendly content. Meanwhile, Wade’s session on "Building Typesafe Web Forms" delivered practical advice on creating solid forms to improve user experiences. 

Deep Dives into Venture Capital and Startups

Rob Moore and Andrew Davis also teamed up for an interactive session on venture capital, startups, and fundraising strategies. They broke down actionable steps for launching a successful startup. If you missed it, there was plenty more advice available at our booth from our venturing experts.

DDD Perth

DDD Perth is an amazing, community-driven event that attracts some of the brightest minds and hearts in tech. As we all settle back in at home, we want to send a big thank you to everyone who made this day unforgettable. Let’s keep growing this awesome tech community together. See you at the next #DDDPerth!
