Event Welcome Team, Justine Marino and Stewart Sheargold
Thanks to incredible feedback from our launch participants the Asia Digital Update program has officially begun.
On a rather chilly evening the first Asia Digital Update event saw our team welcome a fantastic mix of government, academia and digital media practitioners come together to hear three fantastic speakers. First up was Damien Spry from Asialink who delivered a ‘pucha kucha’ style presentation (20 siides, 20 seconds each) and left us wondering if this should be the format for all of our speakers. Janelle Ledwidge from AIMIA Trade Start followed and we saw a great case study of an Australian small business delivering commercial success out of Asia. Then Brendan Harkin from XMEDIA Lab delivered thought provoking and challenging view of China.
However the real action was in the crowd. Some fantastic conversations were under way and the feedback from attendees has been excellent. A resounding call for the update series to continue.
So make sure that you join our mailing list for an invitation to the next event.
And if you missed out on attending the launch event make sure that you check out Brendan’s recommended blog and reading list.
But what can you do to help? Why not recommend that your colleagues join up and attend an event. Spread the word that Asia does matter in the digital industry.
See you all at the next one!
