About CompCon 2013

CompCon 2013 will be the inaugural national conference for students of Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology and related technology disciplines. CompCon is run by students, for students!

The conference will be held at the Australian National University, Canberra, from 28-30 September 2013.

At CompCon you can explore new areas of the varied and diverse world of computing. You’ll get the opportunity to explore some areas of computer science that you don’t cover in the curriculum, with talks about leading-edge research and workshops introducing you to new programming languages and other interesting technical concepts!

You’ll also get to meet other computing students from around Australia, and network with representatives from prominent Australian and international technology companies.

At CompCon 2013, you’ll get:

• Talks by industry professionals, academics and researchers
• Hands-on technology workshops
• Social events
• Hacking sessions
• Careers fair, featuring some of Australia’s leading employers
• Conference dinner

...and more!
