Schedule

Write the Docs is more than a conference. Each year we organize a wide range of events so that people can come together, collaborate, and learn from each other in different ways.

All times are in AEDT.

Thursday, November 28

Day 1 of the event! Hear from lots of interesting folks about all things documentation. We will have talks all day, and unconference sessions running in parallel.

Morning tea, boxed lunch, and afternoon tea will be provided.
