More than just a webinarOur Virtual Conferences provide a platform for your message, and a suite of opportunities beyond what you'd typically get through webinar sponsorships.

All Virtual Conferences include opportunities for networking and connections during the event, live lead generation for sponsors, and membership of an exclusive online networking community after the event to continue the conversation.

Lead generation opportunitiesOur Virtual Conferences all feature lead generation capability, allowing you to gather pre qualified leads from interested parties – just like you would at a live conference.

During the course of the conference, you'll have the opportunity to tell delegates a bit more about your business, and why they might want to work with you. Interested delegates can opt in to receive more information about your company, and all of these leads are passed on to you.

An exclusive networking platformYour ability to connect with delegates extends beyond the three-hour Virtual Conference window, thanks to the networking platforms we establish after each event.

Each Virtual Conference will have its own dedicated networking hub where delegates, speakers and sponsors can continue the conversation post-event, ask questions and workshop ideas to confront the challenges they're facing.

Now, more than ever, people are seeking out new ways to connect with industry cohorts and collaborators, and our post-event networking platforms provide the ideal location for specialised conversation.

Unique approaches to engagementWe understand that one of the main benefits of being involved with a Virtual Conference is the ability to engage with the audience. We also understand that different companies will have different viewpoints on what constitutes quality engagement.

That's why we offer a range of options for our sponsors to engage with our delegates. Whether you want to provide a presentation, participate in a panel session, or facilitate a Q&A with one of our speakers, we can make it happen for you. And if those options aren't quite what you're looking for, pitch an idea to us – we're all ears, and are here to make sure you get the most out of your involvement with us.

On 28 May, Australia’s city and community makers will gather to learn about the latest trends, technologies and thinking when it comes to creating the cities, towns and suburbs of the future.

Now, more than ever, our need to stay digitallyconnected is critically important, and the smart citiescommunity has a vital role to play.

In this virtual conference, we’ll look at how the smart cities working landscape has pivoted since the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ll look at the essential skills and services the sector provides, and the areas in which we’ll be delivering programs of work as we adjust to the new normal for 2020 and beyond.

SPEAKERS WILL INCLUDE:• An international keynote, providing an update

on how international smart cities practitioners are adjusting to the new paradigm

• A local keynote from an long-serving smart cities expert, providing insights into where the industry was pre-COVID-19, comprehensive advice and analysis on where we need to shift, and guidance on how the industry might look post-COVID-19

• A local government panel of smart cities experts, sharing case studies on the projects they have delivered and what they will be focusing on for the remainder of 2020

EVENT DELIVERYThis event is being delivered by Monkey Media, trade publisher of magazines including Infrastructure, Energy

and Utility ; together with the Australian Smart Communities Association, the peak industry association in Australia for our rapidly developing digital, sharing and interconnected communities.

Combining ASCA’s industry knowledge with Monkey Media’s powerful digital marketing and webinar delivery abilities, the event will be a must-see for anyone working in the smart cities and communities space.
