Simon will be kicking off the Marketing Now Conference in Melbourne, Australia on Tuesday, September 22nd. (That’s very soon!)

And even more exciting, the conference is free to attend. It’s going to be exciting to meet and network with some of the world’s leading thinkers on social media, including keynote speaker David Armano, who’s pioneering the idea of social business – what does a business look like when social media is not just a marketing function or a new media channel, but it affects the way everything is done in a company.

If you’ve been following this blog at all, you’ll know that’s an area we’re extremely interested in!

It’ll also be very exciting to meet the cream of Australian social media talent, and represent the innovation and confidence that New Zealand brings to the table.

Thanks, Siobhan, for the opportunity, and for your boldness in making this a free event. Businesses need to know this stuff, and they need to be prepared for a radically different future than the one we all grew up in.
