2019 is already shaping up to be a fantastic year for conferences in Australia, with plenty of digital/web, marketing and startup large events to attend. See my curated list, sorted by month below…
Conferences such as these can be a great opportunity to network with your peers, build new relationships, learn a few new things, and possibly just enjoy getting away from the desk. See my article, Why You Should Attend Two Conferences a Year.
There are 35 listed below (!), that’s about one a week from now until the end of the year. No excuses.
Note: where an event is marked TBC, I have used the month it ran in 2018 to get a sense of when to expect it. This list was last updated on 25th April 2019. Please check links for updated information. WA conferences in bold…
