About us
Founded in Australia in 2004, by long time web industry figures John Allsopp and Maxine Sherrin, (and now run by John), Web Directions conferences bring together the web industry’s leading experts from around the world to educate and inspire our attendees. Our major conferences, dive deeply into front end design and development, and you can find the full lineup here https://webdirections.org/events Unlike many conferences, we have a editorial approach – we put together programs based on current trends in the industry, and seek out speakers who are working in those areas to give inspiring, entertaining, but most importantly practical presentations. But as important as the content is, conferences are also about connecting with your peers – making new connections, and strengthening existing ones, sharing know-how and expertise, finding an expert, or new clients. At Web Directions events we pay careful attention to this side of things with social events, and innovative use of social software to help build and strengthen those relationships. Committed to; Bringing together the best possible speakers – knowledgeable, entertaining, inspiring real world experts. Covering the issues, technologies, concepts and techniques web professionals need right now. Keeping clear separation between content and commercial communication – we have a clear no “pay to speak” policy. Providing the best possible value for our attendees – we try to deliver as much as possible, for as little as possible. Helping attendees connect with peers through social events, and our own online networks like tweeps. In short – we put together the events we’d want to attend, and we trust you’ll want to as well.

Your agent aced every benchmark in testing. Then it hit production and memory broke it. Ananya Roy has seen this pattern repeat at Databricks: agents degrade over hundreds of sessions as old context accumulates, information conflicts, and data corrupts. Standard benchmarks miss memory drift entirely. See Ananya Roy at AI Engineer Melbourne 2026, June 3-4. Tickets: https://lnkd.in/gqJK9KJA

What does it look like to build AI agents that never touch the internet? Thiago Shimada Ramos, AI & Cloud Native Consultant, digs into this at AI Engineer Melbourne 2026. Thiago will explore the intersection of NVIDIA’s DGX Spark hardware, data sovereignty requirements, and the architecture of fully offline agentic systems. From air-gapped iteration loops to lab-to-cloud handoff strategies, this talk covers the practical reality of building AI in environments where the cloud isn’t an option.

Cloud outages used to mean your site went down, maybe you couldn’t deploy. Simon Knox, Computer Programmer at apartments.com.au, digs into this at AI Engineer Melbourne 2026. Just small unimportant stuff. Now an outage means you can’t even write any code. See Simon Knox at AI Engineer Melbourne 2026, June 3-4. Tickets: https://lnkd.in/gqJK9KJA

Project Electrification is an agentic, AI-powered application security pipeline designed to eliminate vulnerabilities at their source. Danila Sashchenko, Security Engineer, previously Offensive Security Engineer at Tik Tok, digs into this at AI Engineer Melbourne 2026. Autonomous agents scan large codebases, generate and execute custom SAST rules, and produce unified risk analytics through the ELK stack. Security engineers then convert these insights into SDK-level protections, ensuring the same classes of issues can’t reappear across the organization’s products.

When I joined my current team, it was a familiar pattern: 6-8 experiments over a year, each taking 10-12 weeks, 60-70% of the time burned on infrastructure, one thing in production held together with duct tape, and our entire agent lifecycle dependent on what our cloud provider made available in our region. Justin Barias, Lead AI Engineer at Australian Government, digs into this at AI Engineer Melbourne 2026. The fix wasn't a new framework. It was an old playbook: ML engineering.

Everyone wants privacy, but the best models require you to give up control of your data. Nick Lothian, Staff Engineer, digs into this at AI Engineer Melbourne 2026. What options are there for keeping data private while still embracing the promise of AI? In this talk we’ll take a practical, experience-based look at options ranging from private models, trusted execution environments, differential privacy, multi-part computation, federated learning and homomorphic encryption — and yes, I’ll explain what these are!

Most AI agents are reactive chatbots—great for one-off queries, but they reset, forget, and lack initiative, failing in real-world use like personal assistants or autonomous workflows. Navan Tirupathi, CTO , Architecture and AI Expert, digs into this at AI Engineer Melbourne 2026. This talk dives into the battle-tested architecture of Claw-family agents (OpenClaw and lightweight forks like NanoClaw, PicoClaw, TinyClaw, IronClaw, ZeroClaw), which power persistent, proactive systems that run 24/7 on your devices. Drawing from real implementations, we'll unpack core patterns: Hub-and-Spoke Separation: A stateless gateway routes inputs (messages, heartbeats, cronjobs, hooks, webhooks) while adapters normalize diverse channels (WhatsApp, Discord) and enforce typed protocols/security handshakes.
