Here's what Natalie Cutler-Welsh, 2015 speaker and 2016 attendee, had to say about The Social Media Conference 2016
“I’m Natalie Cutler-Welsh from Go to Girl. I came last year and it’s so cool to see how the Social Media Conference developed into a two-day event. Last year, I was a speaker, this year I was an attendee. I also went to Social Media Marketing World and really I have to say the calibre of this event is really at that international standard. I’m so impressed and proud of the speakers – and the attendees loved it.”

Josh Borgia-Frost, Client Director for Social Matrix - ``It's been an awesome couple of days``
“The highlights of the event have been speakers, like Cat Howell, who spoke to us about accessing Millenials through social and the platforms that they use – new and interesting ways like live streaming, and functions like that.
“Also, Chocolate Johnny. He has a brick-and-mortar business in Sydney [and talked about] how he has just embraced Social Media as his main communication channel – he has created a global following. So that’s been really inspiring for me to take to my clients and share these insights with them.
“[We’ve been given] some great templates, tips and tricks that I’ve gotten to enable me to deliver better value to my clients, it’s been an awesome couple of days and I will definitely be back next year.
If you get a chance to come to the 2017 Social Media Conference, I say go ahead, book your ticket now.
