Ernie Newman, CEO of TUANZ is giving the welcome. “You are working in one of the most dynamic environments in business today“, he opened with, “working with the Internet presence of your business“. He said that the TUANZ people have pulled together a very diverse set of topics … Internet metrics, Web guidelines, email marketing, collaboration, and more.

Sponsors are Terralink (primary sponsor), and others. Telecom has provided free coffee (paid for via an RFID tag on the back of our conference badges).

Diversity of people:

• Wellington (60%), Auckland (30%), others (10%)

We then did a “speed-dating” session to introduce others.
