For companies
Reach Deakin's most active software talent.
DSEC members don't just attend. They build and ship. Sponsoring us puts your brand in front of students who can already code, at the events they actually turn up to, with a direct line to graduates.
What you get
Three things, plainly.
No fluffy "brand alignment". Here's what a sponsorship buys.
Access to talent
~190 software students who build in their spare time. Your roles land in front of people who can already ship.
Brand at real events
Your logo where students show up: hackathons, workshops, ship nights. Not a banner nobody reads.
A pipeline to grads
Workshops, project briefs and a CV book that turn into interns and graduate hires.
The proof
We've already done the hard part.
Reach, flagship events and shipped projects. The evidence sits right next to the ask.
