dmg world media launching interactive tech show in Australia.

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) March 17, 2006 -- dmg world media, an international organizer of exhibitions and publications, announced today that they are bringing their ad:tech conference, the world’s largest interactive marketing event, to Australia. dmg world media’s reputation as one of Australia’s main event producers provides great leverage for ad:tech to successfully bring their show to this new market. The conference is scheduled to launch February 7-8, 2007 and will take place at the Hilton Hotel in Sydney.

In an article posted to the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) website, Online advertising grows 60 percent to $620 million with no sign of slowing, the inaugural Chairman Cliff Rosenberg states, “Internet ad growth is not surprising in itself, but the strength and ongoing potential for growth is stunning,” he said. “Revenue has romped past outdoor and cinema ads combined, and is now very close to catching magazines and radio.”

“We are thrilled to bring ad:tech to Australia,” states Don Knox, vice president of ad:tech expositions. ”The Internet ad growth in the Australian market is huge and presents an incredible opportunity for ad:tech to deliver the best source of education, networking and technology solutions for interactive marketers. We couldn't be happier with our decision to serve this market with a tightly focused interactive marketing conference."

ad:tech currently produces conferences in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, London and Shanghai. In additional to the Sydney launch, ad:tech also plans an aggressive approach to enter Singapore, Mumbai, Tokyo, Hamburg and Paris during 2007 and 2008. ad:tech will continue to expand globally to provide interactive marketing communities with great opportunities to network, and share best practices and ideas anywhere in the world.
