The organisers of the Advertising Week event are to add Sydney as the fifth global city to hold the gathering, which will take place in Australia in August next year.

The conference – owned by US-based event company Stillwell Partners – will be run locally by Clive Prosser, previously a sales director with Fairfax Media’s regional arm.

The plans to launch Advertising Week in Sydney were announced in London where Advertising Week Europe is currently taking place.
