Few other industries experience as much change as the marketing industry. Being highly reliant on technology, new developments equate to new tools, features, and methods appearing on an almost daily basis.
The upcoming Interactive Minds Digital Summit events will help professionals keep their digital marketing skills fresh.
Travis Bernard, the Director of Audience Development at TechCrunch will be the headline speaker for the upcoming Digital Summit events across Melbourne and Brisbane. The Digital Summit event focuses on educating business and marketing professionals about important changes in the world of digital and highlighting new opportunities for businesses to grow and connect with customers through digital channels.
Owned by AOL, TechCrunch is the go-to site for news on breaking tech, startups and new internet products and has over 6.5 million monthly users in the USA alone.
Travis will be showcasing 5 important Digital Trends at the event. “It’s vital that businesses anticipate future digital trends in order to stay relevant to customers” says conference organizer, Louisa Dahl. “If businesses don’t stay across trends, they won’t know where the opportunities lie and how to take advantage of them”.
Other speakers include a second international keynote speaker, Matt Wallaert from Microsoft, as well as Australian-based digital specialists from Instagram, Expedia, Cotton On, Pozible, GE, and more who will discuss topics ranging from brand storytelling and crowdfunding through to user behavior and long term growth.
The Digital Summit event is on July 20 at the Brisbane Convention Centre and July 22nd at the Crown Convention Centre Melbourne. Find out more at www.thedigitalsummit.com.au.
