Sydney CocoaHeads March 2026

Join us for a special International Women's Day edition of CocoaHeads Sydney – this month we're collaborating live with Brisbane CocoaHeads for a joint streamed event!

Talks

• Christian Mitteldorf – TDD With a Twist: Exploring Type-Driven Design.
• Oliver Jones – (Live Streamed from Brisbane Cocoaheads) My Experience Volunteering for #SheHacksSwift – Oliver shares his experience volunteering at #SheHacksSwift, a hackathon dedicated to supporting women & girls in Swift development.
• Sarah Moran – (Live Streamed from Brisbane Cocoaheads) International Women's Day Action – Sarah Moran, CEO and co-founder of Girl Geek Academy, shares what IWD means to her and how we can all take action.
• Wei (Lene) Huang – Storytelling in Engineering From building cutting-edge phones to leading distributed systems teams, Wei's career has never followed a straight line – and that's exactly the point. In this talk she shares why the most important story you'll ever tell is the one you tell yourself: about what you value, what you've built, and where you're going next.
