Business Stream - Owen Scott, Managing Director of Concentrate

2012 Hi-Tech Market Measures Briefing
This presentation will give you some insights on what sales and marketing strengths high-growth tech companies tend to exhibit, a picture of what the average tech company is investing in sales and marketing and what they find most effective.

This presentation will cover the key growth insights from the 2012 study, as well as some interesting benchmark information around the way hi-tech companies approach their sales and marketing.

All Canterbury Software members and attendees at this presentation are entitled to a free copy of the full report (valued at $250).

NetHui South 2012 - "Shaping our Future Together"

InternetNZ presents NetHui South an Internet conference with a distinctly South Island flavour.

InternetNZ is organising NetHui South as a platform for all those involved with the Internet in the South Island to involve their communities. InternetNZ acts as a nucleus, with a number of motivated local people and organisations planning and running the individual discussions.

NetHui South is half way between a traditional conference and an unconference or barcamp. Like a traditional conference, NetHui South has a pre-agreed agenda. However, much like an unconference, people "participate" rather than passively "attend". Everyone's views are valued; everyone is encouraged to fully participate.
When: Friday 23 - Saturday 24 November 2012
Where: University of Otago and Otago Museum
Cost: $40 (including morning/afternoon teas and coffees)
