Announcing CommsCon – Australia’s new event for those in communications and PR
Lark: Chairing jury
Gregor: Advisory board
Mumbrella’s parent company Focal Attractions is to launch a one day conference and awards event for people working in PR and communications.
CommsCon – which is being organised with the support of The PR Council – takes place in Sydney on Thursday March 14.
The event is being curated by Focal Attractions creative director Cathie McGinn.
Is it just me, or does Andy Lark look a lot like Hank Schrader?
Is it me, or does anyone else see that using the contractions Comms and Con in a conference name about PR just pleading with the world to smack them?
Well spotted Spagoni! Too late for a rebrand?
Maybe CommsMeet? CommuniCon? ConnectedComms 2013…brainstorm anyone!?
CousCous.
I’m with you Spagoni – first thing that hit me – can’t believe no one thought that through – not exactly the best way to promote the industry!
Walter I hope not.
CommsCon – sounds shifty. Brainstorm definitely needed!
CommsComm or CommsCommunity or CommsCure?
After all isn’t the overarching goal to build the nation’s new PR/Comms Community?
One minute it was there, there nest it was ‘scon’
Why was the post questioning Andy Lark’s track record removed?
Personal attacks are banned from mumbrella with good reason. However, Andy Lark uses industry sites and forums to raise his own profile and those of his campaigns on a regular basis. The ‘can’ campaign deserves to be critiqued and judged. He needs to take the good with the bad, and respond if he feels fit.
As a regular mumbrella reader, it appears mr Lark is a protected species. Fawning comments are ok, but any questioning of cba’s work is swept into the digital bin…
yes, i just tried to repost my comment, and it was once again swept into the digital bin.
And i expect this one will be as well.
it seems that the more Mumbrella becomes an events and marketing education company, the less it is able to maintain the integrity of an independent publisher
