MeMedia Presents: Online Education Breakfast

Enjoy an informative Online Education breakfast seminar at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre and walk away with a plan you can put into action.


Embracing business online can be a polarising experience with a multitude of choices that often cause businesses to grind to a halt on a simple decision - what do I do next? MeMedia are among many who believe that online business must be embraced whether you’re a C2C, B2C or B2B startup or an existing business.

WHY:

In today’s ‘Information Age’ or ‘Age of Opportunity’, education coupled with innovation is key to staying on top.

MeMedia believe it’s time to present actionable information in a breakfast event to share the ‘Digital Doers’ IP on setting up and innovating online business. We want to break it down into digestible topics so participants leave feeling equipped, rather than overloaded, with information. They will have knowledge and an action plan that can be applied immediately.

MeMedia believe that the Gold Coast is on the cusp of becoming a hub for high-tech businesses. DealsDirect cofounder and National Online Retailers Association CEO Paul Greenberg agrees.

“The Gold Coast is showing signs of becoming the next Silicon Valley, similar to that of California,” Paul says.

BREAKFAST EVENT:

October 17 2013 from 7am to 9.30am for the convenience of busy peeps not wanting to miss a complete working day. 

WHERE:

Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCCEC) The GCCEC is centrally located on the Gold Coast and has just been voted the best venue in Australia for meeting and events by MEA.

TICKETS INCLUDE:

Tickets are $55 and include a hot banquet breakfast. $5 from every ticket will be donated to Bravehearts charity.

CHRIS HOGAN : MEMEDIA

Chris has played part in the many different facets of the online industry for over a decade and has met a great deal more entrepreneurs who have embraced this “Age of Opportunity” and made it their own.

From creative designer, eCommerce programmer, software tester come digital marketer, Chris now finds himself fulfilling a more strat egic role, assisting startups and enterprise companies with conceptualising their digital opportunities and in many cases, developing these concepts into working applications with his team at MeMedia.

Speaking And Mentoring Are Two Of Chris’s Biggest Passions. While He May Secretly Wish To Be Busting A Move Or Trying His Voice At Karaoke On Stage, Sharing Knowledge And Helping Communities Grow Is By Far His Biggest Passion. Creating Events Where Knowledge Can Be Shared Is The Most Logical Way To Build Our Community In A Convenient Manner.

“I hope that you can make each of our events. They will be jam packed full of information that we’re sure you will find helpful for you and your business, no matter what stage you’re at. If you cannot make it please don’t hesitate to contact me for a chat over a cuppa. The most important thing is that you know your digital options and embrace them. I look forward to meeting you there.”

JENNI MADISON: COCONUT MAGIC

In 2011, Jenni Madison’s brain child was born; working from a wooden floor, computer and a sprawl of paper in her ex-boyfriend’s spare room. Ten thousand dollars in debt for product and a website, Jenni’s late nights with overseas web developers, was the start of something great but it didn’t come easy. Coconut Magic is now in many stores Australia wide and sold online. Hearing Jenni’s story is so inspiring we can’t wait to share.
