Following our successful Sydney Media + Marketing Summit, last week we unveiled the full program for the Melbourne event on 25 July.
Taking place at Southbank's The Arts Centre, hot topics include a look at the promise of TV addressability, how AI is on the brink of revolutionising media and looking Beyond #MeToo, while we also dig into how to make the marriage between client and agency really work – with Clemenger Melbourne and NAB.
Not only does the day offer a great chance to catch up on the latest industry trends, issues and goings on, but it's also one of the best networking opportunities adland has.
Early Bird discounted tickets are available now.

The full day event in Sydney last month garnered great feedback with stories such as how dwindling CMO tenure is killing consistency, how Cricket Australia is shifting perceptions from a ‘gentleman’s game’ - as well as a look at how Australia will roll out 'world leading' addressable TV solutions this year and how addressable advertising will “prevent further haemorrhaging” of TV into digital. As well as a session on meditation and a blockchain 101, a heated panel on consultancies also discussed how some agencies need to do a much better job at marketing themselves.
Sessions in Melbourne include: keynote speaker, Dr Katie Spearritt; the Promise of TV Addressability (in association with ThinkTV); One brand and agency’s part of the $45bn unfinished journey: Havas and World Vision; How AI is on the brink of revolutionising media, marketing and advertising (in association with Deloitte Digital); Beyondmetoo - Why safe, harmonious, and fully inclusive workplaces are key to driving successful businesses; and Making the marriage between client and agency work with Clems and NAB.
We are also thrilled that last year’s Presenting Partner Carat will continue its role with us. Supporting AdNews helps us provide awesome content and allows us to address industry issues and hot topics that need zoning in on - so a big thanks to all that are supporting us with this flagship AdNews event.
