To avoid a clash with the semi final T20 Cricket the Adelaide Connected Committee has decided to move the Adelaide Connected 6.0 event date one day forward. The new date is therefore Wednesday the 9th of November.

The date change has caused a few programmatic changes, but the venue and speakers are all  confirmed and they are great! We will release the topics very soon and then open Eventbrite for bookings! Last year the event sold out all 180 seats in a good week and although we have room to grow to 250+ seats this year, it is highly recommended to grab an early bird ticket while you can!
