ad:tech breakfast briefings
ad:tech has a great reputation for delivering high-quality content and networking to marketers in Australia and New Zealand and to quench the demand for more more more, in 2009 we launched the club ad:tech breakfast briefings. We held the breakfast briefings throughout the winter months and themes, topics & speakers varied according to what was happening and what was in the market at the time. The breakfast briefings were free to attend but we asked for a donation to our chosen charity at each event. In this, our first year of the briefings, we raised 1000s of dollars for charities across Australia.You can read about the breakfast briefings here. We’re looking forward to hosting more of these events in 2010.
ad:tech Sydney advisory councils
In order to ensure that ad:tech Sydney 2010 is closely aligned to the Australian digital media marketplace we’ve putting together the ad:tech advisory councils. The councils will represent different parts of the market and will be instrumental in guiding the conference content, speaker faculty and social media promotions for their topic area. Internationally ad:tech works with very senior advisory boards and boards of governors. Here in Sydney we want to get more hands on, really tie ourselves to the market and make sure we’re doing what the industry wants. You can read more about the councils here.

Inspiration, ideas and implementation are also nurtured through the work that we do with the iMedia Summits and iMedia Connection. We produce the highly popular iMedia Brand Summit, a by-invitation-only event that brings together marketers from Australasia’s leading brands to address the most pertinent issues and opportunities in digital media today. The 2009 iMedia Brand Summit was enthusiastically received by all attendees and the feedback surpassed results from all previous years.
