About Office DevCon

Office DevCon is the largest and most popular annual community-driven conference in the southern hemisphere. It allows Microsoft Office developers and power users to come together in one location to hear expert speakers from around the world present on a wide range of Microsoft Office-related topics.

Over 2 days, you will hear in-depth presentations on advanced Office technologies for Office 2003 and 2007 and 2010 (the next version), including Word, Access, Excel, SharePoint, PowerPoint, Groove, InfoPath, OneNote and Outlook.

Due to the upcoming release of Office 2010, the 2009 event has generated an unprecedented level of interest from many local and international speakers and organisations, and promises to surpass last year's event by a big margin.

This year, not only will we have in-depth (Deep dive) lectures from internationally recognised speakers, we'll also have academic lecturers presenting on such diverse topics as human-computer interaction, software patterns, security, data theory, and so on. Feedback from previous years indicated that the sessions could have been deeper, and we listened. At your request, all sessions are deeper and more comprehensive than ever before, the Deep-Dive sessions can now extend to 2 hours in duration, and the range of technical offerings is wider. This year you will have even more opportunity to learn about Office and other IT-related technologies, techniques and topics, and to interact with world-class experts.

How much does it cost?

It is free to attend Office DevCon, but accommodation and transportation costs are up to you.

Deep-dive sessions

This year our Deep-Dive sessions will be in the form of in-depth audio-visual presentations. They will be at least 400-level, targeted at Microsoft Office® System Developers and Power Users, and can be between 50 minutes and three hours in duration.

This year, we have opened up the range of topics to include academic subjects, such as Data Theory, Design Patterns, Security, IT Ethics, Human-Computer Interaction, and so on.

We invite university academics and industry bodies to present on leading research and industry findings (for example, the IT resource shortage).
