SMNZ At: NZ Marketing Summit 2013

last week, the SkyCity Convention Centre in Auckland hosted New Zealands biggest Marketing conference; the 2013 NZ Marketing Summit and I was lucky enough to head along.

The day kicked off with the live streaming of the Americas cup on the big screens, everyone arrived early to watch Team New Zealand win (don’t get me started). Anyway we started losing, so who better to liven up the crowd than one of New Zealands funniest men, Dai Henwood!

Dai was a great MC and the whole conference was very well organised. The keynote address from Sarah Robb O’Hagen was a highlight and had everyone’s brains ticking early in the morning, a great day was to follow.I sat in on sessions from some of New Zealand's most successful companies and huge international brands including; Swazi, Google, Auckland Zoo, Jucy Rentals and the Wellington Phoenix. The whole day was packed full of interesting sessions, it was impossible to choose which room to go to.

If you didn't get the chance to head along, you can view some of the videos here and view the photos on the facebook page here. I learnt a huge amount from this conference and I will certainly be lining up to go again next time!
