the folks at the NSW KM association are putting together an evening in Sydney entitled:
Online Communities – Making It Happen
Online Communities have significantly grown in profile during recent years – esp. with the popularity of sites such as Facebook. This session brings together people who have an interest in the many forms of online community – whether these communities consist of professionals, employees, consumers or just people that want to hang out together. The session will be highly interactive.
Speaking:
Angela Beesley is the Vice-President of Community Relations for Wikia Inc. which she co-founded with Jimmy Wales in 2004 to support wiki communities. She is also the chair of the Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation, which manages the free-content encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
Scott Drummond is the Community Manager for SportsHydrant, an online community for sports enthusiasts based in Sydney. Previously he was deputy editor of Marketing Magazine.
Christy McCarthy is the Community Relations Manager for WorldNomads, a global online travel company. She is also responsible for the not-for-profit online fundraising initiative – footprints.org.au which helps people give back to the communities in which they travel.
Mark Pollard is Strategy Director, McCann Sydney where he is responsible for brand and digital strategies for the likes of Microsoft, Pfizer and more. He is also the CEO of Stealth Magazine, the first full-colour hip hop magazine in the Southern Hemisphere.

I’m very sorry to have missed this meeting, I’ve only just discovered this group when I attended the Melbourne Roundtable which was absolutely fabulous.
What a buzz a whole day a talkfest we’re all so starved of talking to someone who understands.
I hope There’ll be Sydney events soon, we talked of a Sydney roundtable in May if we can mange to organise it.
Any report backs on this meeting? Any more meetings?
Hi Julie,
Venessa, who organised the roundtable in Melbourne, will be putting some stuff online and I’ll link to it.
Just for the record, e-mint only publicised the roundtable (and the NSW KM sydney event), we were not involved in organising either of them. Great to hear the day went went well and there’s plans for additional sessions! jen
