Is there still value of attending conferences in today’s society where so much information is available online anyway?
I believe there are still enormous advantages to be gained.
Take the ad:tech conference that’s coming up in March in Sydney.
By attending an event like this what will you get?
- Great networking opportunities with some of the best in the business.
- Learning from a number of enthusiastic and inspirational keynote speakers, that are highly knowledgeable in the industry.
- Listening to some lively and controversial panel debates that influence the direction of the industry.
- Seeing showcases of the best new technology and services in the industry.
- Gain a lot of knowledge in a short amount of time
- And more importantly listen from those who are DOING THE STUFF, the ones walking the talk.
Adtech Sydney 2010
So what exactly is ad:tech Sydney?
It’s a great event for anyone using digital marketing and advertising. It’s the leading event in the industry in Australia and New Zealand with keynote speakers and innovative hands-on workshops delivering immediate, take-away value. It’s no surprise that ad:tech Sydney won the EEAA Award for Best New Event when it was launched in Australia four years ago.
ad:tech has events worldwide – from Shanghai to San Francisco to London and New York. In fact ad:tech hosts 10 shows in 7 countries, but I’m more interested in the Sydney event on March 16th and 17th, as that’s the one I’ll be attending.
Not only will I be attending this event, I’ll also be a ‘Social Media Manager’ for the event. Amongst other things, I’ll be responsible for giving the event a social media presence. I will be continually tweeting while I’m at the conference, keeping everyone updated about the happenings of the conference, while also managing the conference room – welcoming people, and running and moderating the mic for the Q&A. I’ll also be interviewing some key speakers from the event.
So if you can’t make it down to the ad:tech event this March, you can follow me @lucio_ribeiro for tweets before, during and after the event.
Or
@lucyjjames – who besides being a very nice lady, is the content manager at ad:tech Sydney. Hashtag is #ATSYD
Alternatively, you can still find some intriguing insights about the industry on ad:tech brain at http://www.ad-techbrain.com.au/.
On ad:tech brain you’ll find discussions, polls and posts from people in the industry.
So have a browse through ad:tech brain to see what others are saying as well as joining in the discussions yourself.
Have a browse through http://www.ad-tech.com/ to gain a more detailed knowledge of what ad:tech is all about – internationally and locally, so you can register online to either the conference or the free exhibition.
In my next post I’ll be talking more about things you should do before the ad:tech Sydney 2010.

Agree,
seminars are a good way to extend and connect to people on your industry besides giving opportunity to close business
