I’m getting really excited about Mediasense, the social media conference we’re sponsoring right here in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand on April 8.
There are some real top-draw speakers and panelists coming from New Zealand and around the world. There will be live hookups to the US during the event, and best of all, it’s hosted at a WINERY!
