As we move forward we know that events is where we take our connection into real space.

So we remain ever so thankful to those who have participated in our events both on the floor, in the interwebz and behind the scenes. Especially our intrepid videoographer, photographer and livebloggers

The fourth #digicitz event is on next week. So it’s time to look back at our first three events and give thanks again to those panellists and MC’s who contributed.

Our MC’s

Bronwen Clune coralled a great Panel to talk about our Private Parts.

Damian Damjanovski who manfully guided the conversation around the ever intriguing subject of Measurement and Metrics last month and also contributed to Private Parts.

Alan Jones, currently training for the Oxfam Trailwalker, facilitated an excellent conversation on Social Media and Social Good.

Our Panellists

Adrian Dayton, a Social Media specialist lawyer was in town from the USA to give us some interesting insights with regards to your Privacy online from a Legal Perspective. Adrian was accompanied by Renai LeMay from technology publication Delimiter, who gave us a a journalistic view on Privacy in the Digital Space, and Sam North. Sam had a perspective quite distinct from the others due to his lengthy experience in both media and PR – but also as a Social Media holdout. Though we do believe he finally created a Twitter account immediately after the event.

David Hood fresh from battling Palm Oil for Greenpeace, Karalee Evans formerly of headspace and now at Amnesia, Mark Chenery from ActionAid and Nic McKay from the Human Race presented an intriguing night with Alan discussing Social Good.

Last time out Damian kept the questions real with answers coming from Mitch Malone, Community Manager at BuzzNumbers, Marie-Claire Jenkins, Senior Strategist at McCann Sydney and Andrew Hughes, Senior SEO and SMO Consultant for Reprise Media.

What’s Hot?

We’ve also had Kim McKay from Klick telling us all about what was hot in Social Media at SxSW and Gavin Heaton of Servant of Chaos fame discussing the Age of Conversation and why it is good to talk.

Next Up

Time to announce that Gavin Heaton will be back next week to MC a conversation dedicated to understanding how to make organisational and cultural change to embrace the social media revolution – even in the most uptight workplace!

Don’t Wait!

Rather than wait for your fix, please check in on the videos from previous events, think about the questions you would like Gavin to ask and standby for full panel details throughout the week.

Cathie McGinn said “We expect vigorous – yet hopefully respectful – debate from the panel and participants who have found themselves in hot water when the line between the personal and professional gets blurred.”

The event bookings reached capacity in less than a fortnight, and there is currently a waiting list for tickets.

Heather Ann Snodgrass said “This is an issue that affects anyone with a Facebook account, not just industry practitioners. We expected a good response, but this has definitely exceeded our expectations. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the night plays out.”
