Every few months, the crew at Hill & Knowlton Australia get so excited about an issue that we can't keep it to ourselves. That's when we hold one of our legendary, open, Breakfast Bytes seminars. They're hectic, topical and a whole lot of fun. Everyone's there — CEOs, consultants, media, cranks. There's a presentation or panel discussion, and furious networking. If that sounds like your kind of scene, please email us.

Next seminar: Web 2.0 & the new internet boom

At our first seminar for 2006, we’re debating the return of internet hype.
  • Is Web 2.0 really more than some unrelated trends that are not that new?
  • Will the return of web cash lead to another web crash?
  • And how do we explain this without jargon like AJAX, social software and tagging?
Bring your ideas and join us for a lively discussion. Our panellists will be:
  • Colin Caldwell: As Director of 3rd Sense Australia, Colin was instrumental in the creation of Million of Games, a prime example of tagging
  • Brad Howarth: As a freelance journalist, Brad has written a book about the challenges facing Australia's small technology companies along with contributing to every publication from Australian Anthill to Red Herring
  • Kevin Leversee: As Founder and Chief Courage Officer of Pandora Squared, Kevin helps companies to create social networks
So much for the fun stuff! Here are the boring details:
  • Where? Central Sydney (venue TBA)
  • When? Morning of Wednesday, 1 March
Any questions or suggestions, please comment below.

    I won't be able to make it up to Sydney for it unfortunately (I'm also in Melbourne)!

    There are a lot of people touting the benefits of Web 2.0, and a lot of people saying it simply doesn't exist. I think it exists, mostly as a mindset though.

    I think there will be another boom, but hopefully money is better invested this time and that the boom isn't as large, and the crash never comes.

    Is there any way you make this an online conference? Or maybe post it online afterwards so that those than cannot make it to Sydney see it and have a chance to join the debate.

    As for the Web 2.0, even if it is simply a mindset or not, the PR/ strat. comm. industry should be even more proactive and give it a try to picture the "future" according to the present trends. There are plenty of choices to react to.

    The hope is that this posting and others like it, on this blog and on others including yours, can continue the online debate which i think it happening already.

    In the future, yes, it would be great to "think big" by moving beyond cross-postings etc to a fully fledged online conference. Your thoughts on how to make that happen?
