We have had an overwhelming response rate for participate in this year’s ad:tech activities and as well as a torrent of speaker submissions. I’m reminded once again how lucky we are to be working in such a vibrant and active industry, where everyone wants to be involved in developing the industry for tomorrow’s marketer as well as today’s.

We have now finished holding the 9 advisory councils, made up of approximately 60 industry experts from across brands, publications, vendors and agencies. These meetings are critical for the ad:tech team to get to find out what’s really going on in the day to day lives of digital marketers from as many different angles as possible.

The insights given to us by our incredibly knowledgeable and generous committees are invaluable in ensuring that the ad:tech conference programme contains the topics that you, the visitors and delegates, truly want to hear about. So a MASSIVE thanks to all those who gave up their time to contribute. I’m looking forward to what tomorrow’s ad:tech Melbourne Advisory Council will bring now.

I am really excited to be reading through the speaking submissions that so many people have put so much time and effort in to producing and I’m sure that this year’s ad:tech conference programme will be a key part of every digital marketers education and training programme for 2012.

As always, the ad:tech team are keen to hear from you, the marketer, with any feedback that you think will help make his year’s ad:tech better than ever so please get in touch.

Don’t forget to tell us who you want to see as a keynote speaker this year ….
