WTF Media conference 2012

This one-day media conference will host professional speakers in social media and technology.

The theme for the 2012 WTF Media conference is "impact". This is the 14th annual media conference that will evolve around the impact of technology and the impact of social media. According to all the pundits...this year 2012 is the year that technology is going to have an impact on our lives.

Whether or not it will rival the impact of the toaster, the electric kettle, the computer, fax machine, matches, zippers, barcode, batteries, ballpoint pens, buttons, credit cards, robots, condoms, pencils, ploughs, sticky tape, telephones, thermometers, velcro, rubber bands, radios, disposable razors and the wheel remains to be seen. But it would be wise to be reminded that although we treat these preceding items as everyday things, they weren't always taken for granted. If in fact, at one point in time, they were considered revolutionary and technologically advanced and cutting edge.

This year, speakers will include: Andy Hadfield, Clive Simpkins, Sheena Gates, Heike Meyburgh, John Beale, Kate Wolters, Matthew Visser, Melissa Attree, Sam Wilson, Tom Manners, Rashiq Fataar and Mike Sharman.

Delegates are advised to bring their own laptop/cellphone/tablet/iPad to partake in the live tweets.
