Future of Media Summit Blog

We’ve had a number of recent changes and additions to the speaker line-up at Future of Media Summit in both Sydney and San Francisco. A number of urgent board meetings and international trips have taken several people off the list, while some fantastic additonal talent has come on board. While it’s a pity some of the original speakers cannot participate, the quality of the new speakers we have on board overall results in an even stronger cast for the event, which is very pleasing.

Michael Birch, CEO, Bebo
Stephen Conroy, Shadow Minister for Communications (Sydney only)
Wendy Hogan, CEO, CNET Networks Australia (Sydney only)
Ian Smith, CEO, Yahoo!7
