CONFERENCE REVIEW
Jaegersoft
"Two days. Countless ideas. One unforgettable conference.
Whether it was innovative keynote speakers, insightful panel discussions or catching up with everyone in the Newcastle Tech scene, the 2025 /New Tech Conference was unreal. Huge thanks to SlashNEW Conference for pulling together such a seamless event, NEX for hosting us, and Pirate Coffee Roasters for keeping us caffeinated. To everyone who had a chat, led a session, or shared their story, thank you. We’re walking away inspired and ready to keep building what’s next."
2025 ATTENDEES
"Thank you! The event was incredible, and as a first time attendee it seemed very well organised, efficient, professional, and just an all round well organised conference. Very much looking forward to next year and hopefully I might be able to volunteer and help too! I loved the variety of industries we heard from. Compared to Sydney and Melbourne based conferences that tend to be heavy on FMCG and Fintech, you have a really wide range of industries in our community and they were well represented. The calibre of speakers and networking opportunities was next level!"
