"Best MarTech brains in the country"
INTERNATIONAL KEYNOTE
International Keynote
48
hours in the Hunter Valley
Australia’s most-loved MarTech conference
In an era of heightened scrutiny, leaner teams, and rising consumer expectations, the pressure on marketing leaders to deliver smarter, faster, and more secure experiences has never been greater.
The Marketing Tech Symposium is where ANZ’s most senior MarTech minds come together to cut through the noise. This is not just another conference, it’s an exclusive opportunity for peer-to-peer exchange, honest conversations, and strategic clarity.
With the pace of innovation accelerating and the technology landscape more complex than ever, the Symposium helps you focus on what matters, what’s emerging, what’s effective, and what’s right for your strategy.
Set away from the daily distractions of the office, the Symposium offers curated content, sophisticated debate, and actionable insights that give you – and your business – a competitive edge.
This is your opportunity to connect, reflect, and lead with confidence.
Key themes to be addressed in 2025:
Setting the Strategy: Build vs. Buy
Weighing custom MarTech builds against integrated platforms: balancing personalisation needs with cost, complexity, and long-term scalability.
Data Enablement & Insights
Aligning marketing and data teams to unlock actionable insights and ensuring responsible, purpose-fit data practices.
Content Supply Chain for Personalisation at Scale
Implementing AI-driven content creation and delivery to enable scalable, dynamic personalisation.
CX Journeys with AI & Automation
Tackling AI integration, evolving web experiences, and loyalty initiatives: front-end and back-end challenges in a shifting consumer landscape.
Privacy, Regulation & AI Governance
Building trust through consent management, compliance, and data security. What’s required vs. what’s ethical in AI-driven MarTech.
Ownership & Structure: Who Owns MarTech?
Clarifying team structures, roles, and leadership as MarTech expands and what should your team own?
Harmonising Paid & Owned Media
Creating synergy across channels through unified data, aligned goals, and a strategic blend of AdTech within the MarTech ecosystem.

2025 International Keynote:
Giovanni Brusetti
Director, Technical Product Management, Marketing Technology, Epic Games
Gio is a MarTech nerd with a track record of making it work across B2B (Caterpillar, Expedia), B2C (Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health), and now the wild world of Fortnite at Epic Games. He has helped many brands cut through the noise with smarter tech, better data, and less fluff.
These days, he is building future-proof systems that marketers actually want to use. If there’s one thing Giovanni believes, it’s that great customer experiences don’t happen by accident: they’re engineered. And he’s happy to share a bit about how to do that.
Gio is originally from Italy, he’s based on the shores of Lake Zurich in Switzerland and has studied at UQ in Brisbane in 2013.
