Announcing EventCamp Down Under!!!! Sydney Australia!

by mikemcallen

The first Event Camp for 2012 is locked and loaded – Event Camp Down Under will take place in Sydney, Australia on Feb 26th and 27th, with a remote pod in Auckland, New Zealand.  This is the first Australasian Event Camp ever – and whilst it’s continuing the theme of exposing #eventprofs to what’s cool and exciting in event tech and event management the organising team are also working hard to make sure it has an Aussie/NZ focus – green, fresh and innovative.  With great beer :)   Well, it will be the height of summer!

A cracking line up of speakers is already confirmed, with two more headliners under discussion (watch this space).  Speakers have been asked to flavour their presentations to address what’s different DownUnder – we’re isolated, we have to work hard to attract international visitors, we’ve smaller populations and generally the scale of everything is smaller!  But we still pride ourselves on awesome events and knowing what’s new and innovative globally, often being the first to try stuff out. So ECDU12 will showcase some of the great homegrown event services – livestream in to find out what’s going on in the land of the long white cloud.
