Why Brand ManageCamp 2020?
Sure, we are one of Forbes’ “Must-Attend” Marketing Conferences. But here is why our VIRTUAL conference is going to rock!
Optimized For Virtual!!!

Plus all topics will be updated to reflect the realities of this new world in which we live.
Best Pricing Ever
We recognize how tough this year has been and how much budgets have been impacted. As such, we have developed 3 tiers of registration options to meet a wide range of budgets. It has never been more affordable to attend a Brand ManageCamp marketing conference!
Post Event Content

Queensland Business Writers Conference
2020-10-28 | Online
The Queensland Business Writers Conference is our annual training event for corporate and government communications professionals.
Since 2012, this event has helped people who write as part of their job to increase their skills and knowledge of best practice.
And, this year, we’re live streaming the whole event – so you can join us online from the comfort of your home or office.
The events of 2020 have shown how essential our role as communicators really is. It’s not an easy job to provide clear messages in uncertain times, but it’s an important one.
And it’s essential that everyone gets the message. This is challenging in a country with a diverse population that may be isolated, elderly or multicultural, or have limited digital literacy.
So, this year, we’ll focus on the skills we need to ensure that, when we develop communications for the people, it’s all the people.
It’s all happening on Wednesday 28 October 2020.
