It’s the event you’ve been waiting for! Get your glam on and join friends and industry colleagues for IABC Victoria’s night of nights - The 2011 Gala Dinner!
This year we have an exciting line-up that will challenge your opinions, celebrate your achievements and of course, provide lots of opportunities for networking and catching up with colleagues.
Our theme for the night, “talking about your generation” will feature representatives from three generations talking about what they’ve each brought to the communications profession.
Baby Boomer - Geoff Kelly
Geoff Kelly works with leaders who are frustrated that people are not buying into their ideas and strategies.
He spent the first 20 years being thrown out of the best companies in the land. Along the way he worked with some of Australia’s most effective business leaders and learned that working with leaders who want to achieve something meaningful is the most fun a middle-aged married guy can have - aside from reminiscing with old friends about how good we are compared with the next lot coming through.
Gen X - Andrew Maiden
Andrew Maiden is the Executive Director of Communications and Media Relations at Telstra. Andrew is responsible for Telstra’s media relations, internal communications, and online and social media. He joined the company in 2000. Prior to joining Telstra, Andrew worked in politics as a press secretary, speech writer, advisor and chief-of-staff for politicians in state and federal government.
Gen Y - Kate Kendall
Kate Kendall is a digital marketer, communications manager and community specialist hailing from Melbourne. She consults on things such as branding, culture, social media, people engagement and content strategy. She is also a freelance writer and avid tweeter, and is listed as one of 15 recommended-to-follow Australians by Twitter. Kate founded and organises the Social Media Melbourne meetup and recently launched The Fetch - a what’s on guide to Melbourne’s digital, creative and business communities.
We also have a treat for you in the form of a thought-provoking performance from illusionist and award-winning entertainer, Simon Taylor.
During the evening, we will be taking the opportunity to recognise some of our top industry performers, winners of this year’s Bronze Quill Awards. Bronze Quill winners are professionals who have been accepted for blue ribbon judging at the International Gold Quill Awards in San Francisco. Congratulations to all!
