Last week was the 2nd annual Online Retailer Conference and Expo in beautiful Sydney, Australia! Once again, Zazzle was there to soak it all in! Jason Kang, our VP of Marketing, delivered a featured presentation titled “How Zazzle Supercharged its Search Marketing for the Holiday Season.” And I (hi, I’m Mike) sat in as part of a panel discussion on Social Media.
The conference was a huge success. The Australian ecommerce market is growing like crazy, and the energy and enthusiasm amongst all of the e-retailers there was exciting! It was great to meet and speak with so many entrepreneurial types.
While we were in Sydney, we also met up with two of our Aussie ProSellers. Simon, the creative inspiration behind www.zazzle.com/russelt, and Yiying, creator of the little gem found here www.zazzle.com/failwhale, joined us for dinner and good times ensued!
It was a great trip, and we were proud and happy to be invited down. In just two short years, the Online Retailer Conference and Expo has become one of the foremost gathering points for online retailers seeking to learn, discover, and grow their e-business in Australia, as well as in the rest of the increasingly interconnected global e-commerce world!

Brilliant Mike.
So if it was your first Australian trip I hope our beautiful country left an impression on your heart!
I’ll keep my eye out for this conference next year… may buy a ticket!
Sydney is only a one hour plane ride and it sounds like it could be worth it.
Thanks for the tip.

Any plans for a Los Angeles/Orange County Conference?
