Well, it was a massive day, with tonnes of amazing content, so we wanted to make sure we could get it up on our website for all of you to sift through, just in case you missed it on the day! The Media140 conference in Canberra was put together to discuss and analyse the future of social technologies, such as facebook and twitter.
There were some fantastic guest speakers, including US Ambassador to Australia Jeffrey Bleich, Federal Member for Wentworth Malcolm Turnbull, Rob Oakeshott MP, National Director of advocacy organisation GetUp! Simon Sheikh and many many more.
We have a list of podcasts below for your enjoyment! (I highly recommend having a listen to Dr. Claire Wardle’s speech, it was fantastic!)
