THE_VENUE

AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM

2 Murray Street, Darling Harbour, Sydney

www.sea.museum →

We're taking over the Australian National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour. One day of talks and hacking - on the waterfront, surrounded by warships and submarines.

This isn't your typical hotel conference center. We're talking about a working museum with actual naval vessels, waterfront views, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to break things (legally, of course).

Easy access via public transport, surrounded by bars and restaurants, and right in the heart of Sydney's tech precinct. Bring your laptop. Leave your suit.
