do get publicity!!!!

50% of the time dedicated to preparing for the conference should entail gathering media attention. I mean like 100-200 hours of pure commitment to this and this alone.

For sure - anyone with experience handling the media that would like to volunteer some time would be appreciated -even to give us less experienced ppl with the time some tips/info? I have tried emailing AU media outlets in the past and go zero responses.

The more of a "community" project this is the stronger it will be, so far everyone involved is a volunteer Cheesy

do some stunts!! give away bitcoins, make a lottery(100x1btc, 10x10btc, 200bitcoin total, or something). make some noise, on other forums, asking people: "are you comming to the bitcoin expo in australia?"

even tv ads maybe.

just do something!!

Good Ideas, except TV Ads are just way too expensive for marketing unless someone has a spare $100,000 to $200,000 for the TV campaigns. I am sure we will get the right Audiences and also Media through our online ways, and contacts etc. I am looking very forward to the Event!

You should tell this to HelloWorld, a dude in another thread who told me that if he had 4 mil in BTC, he wouldn't cash them out because he would hope they would grow to a value of 40 mil (since, as he said, 4 mil isn't even enough to buy him half a jet). Find some early adopter to invest in a TV commercial so they can help their investment grow. Gotta spend money to earn money.
