The IT Code Fair Sydney event will be held for the first time in Sydney on 6 November 2025. The CDU IT Code Fair started in Darwin nearly 12 years ago as an initiative from the IT Discipline at CDU Darwin to become one of the major IT events in the NT, sponsored and attended by the NT Government and many IT organisations/businesses in the NT.
As the number of IT Discipline students increased immensely, the IT discipline here in Sydney decided to follow Darwin in starting the IT Code Fair Sydney branch.
The IT Code Fair provides an outstanding opportunity for our IT Students in Sydney to present their work, research, software, projects, etc. to IT businesses in Sydney, increase their opportunities for employment, and provide them with assurances about the acceptance of their work by experts.
