Melbourne: Tech writing in 2026 and beyond

Technical writing has changed a lot in the last couple of years. New tools, shifting job titles, restructured teams, and a whole lot of opinions about AI. So what does it actually look like to be a tech writer in 2026? This is the first in a series of relaxed evening meetups where we dig into that question. We've got speakers from inside and outside the tech writing world sharing short talks, followed by open conversation. **For this first session**, we're starting with a look back. What was technical writing 18 months ago, and what's different now? We'll use that as a jumping-off point for the room. **I've never met a technical writer before** ‘I have never met a technical writer before’, said most of the young engineers who worked in a team Yvonne joined about 18 months ago. They had not even heard of the profession. Drawing on the stories and interactions from the last Write the Docs conference and her personal work experiences, she presented her view of technical writing as a profession to this engineering team. Is this presentation now a time capsule of a past era? Yvonne will share some of it with you at this meetup and let you decide. **About Yvonne Perkins** Yvonne is a passionate technical communicator who has spent her career helping teams perfect their knowledge and communication strategies. She believes that documentation should serve the user first, and that teams should be empowered to understand their users better. In the past, she has worked with organisations including ANZ, NEC, and AEMO. Now she is embarking on a new chapter with her own business, Evandra, which enables her to bring her expertise to a broader audience. Evandra helps businesses improve the effectiveness of their documentation and skills of their staff through knowledge strategy consulting and enjoyable workshops such as BrickDocs.

Where do you thrive? Your product fit across startup, scale-up & corporate

**Where Do You Thrive?** *Finding your product fit across startup, scale-up and corporate* Managing a product at a 10-person startup looks markedly different to managing one at a scale up or established corporate. While the title is identical, the day-to-day job requirements, the influence, the pace, and the path forward have key differences. So how do you know where you thrive most? Join Product Women Melbourne for a panel conversation with product leaders who've built careers across startups, scale-ups and corporates. We'll explore: · What actually changes about the role at each stage — and what stays the same · The trade-offs nobody tells you about (autonomy vs. resources, speed vs. structure, ambiguity vs. process) · How to know if you're in the right environment for where you are in your career · What it's really like to move between stages — and what surprised our panellists most **Panellists:** [Anna Kelk,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-kelk-743587a7/) Chief Product Officer, Splose [Kelly Nguyen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellynnguyen/), Senior Product Manager APAC, Heidi [Teresa Huang](https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresajhuang/), Head of Product Bupa Whether you're considering your next career move, curious about a different kind of company, or just want to know if the grass really is greener in a different setting, this session is for you. Expect honest conversation and insights and time to connect with the Product Women Melbourne community afterwards. **Venue**: Preacta, 260 Collins Street, Melbourne (Melbourne CBD) **Date:** 06 August 2026 **Time:** 5:30-7:30pm Kindly sponsored by Preacta: Talent Acquisition Solutions and Recruitment
