DEX is the only conference in Australia that puts the practitioner at the front and centre.
Whether you’re managing a large complex intranet with zero budget, designing an innovative integrated digital workplace experience, or transforming your internal communications strategy, DEX will give you access to practitioners who’ve had a positive impact on their organisation’s digital employee experience.
From leading-edge trailblazers who are implementing AI, social comms strategies that are transforming culture, to home-made digital literacy training videos. Our speakers have been through the journey, shed the blood sweat and tears, and can share their successes (and failures!).
Learn from your colleagues. Grow your network. Be inspired.
