In case you missed it, Adobe has just splashed out $1.7 billion to acquire ecommerce solution provider Magento, effectively making it the only organisation with leadership in content creation, marketing, advertising, analytics and now commerce – enabling real-time experiences across the entire customer journey.

“Embedding commerce into the Adobe Experience Cloud with Magento enables Adobe to make every moment personal and every experience shoppable,” Adobe’s VP of digital experience, Brad Rencher, explained.

So if ever you needed an excuse to demand your boss let you attend Adobe’s Symposium in Sydney Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 August, surely this is it!

Still not sure you’ll get accounts across the line when it comes to signing off the measly price of your ticket?

Well consider the theme of the event: customers expect amazing experiences. And you’re the one who will make them. Because you are an experience maker – a rock-star marketer or creative professional who knows the power of the experience economy.

So, if you want to engage with your customers at a deeper level and create unbelievable experiences, then join us. Become an experience maker.

And then, of course, there’s the headline speakers.

Here’s just a sample of some of the people you could expect and bear in mind there’s more people to be announced.

Tim’s Wait But Why blog has topped 10 million unique visitors during peak months and attracted thousands of patrons, including famous fans like Tesla CEO Elon Musk, TED Curator Chris Anderson and Twitter co-founder Evan Williams.

Tim synthesizes complex concepts and presents them in a humorous, highly entertaining and memorable way, with his stick figures, caricatures and self-depreciating presenting style.

At Adobe Symposium, Tim will keynote on Innovation: AI Revolution & the Road to Superintelligence with an element of his most-watched TED Talk of 2016: Why Procrastinators Procrastinate: The Never-Ending Battle in Our Heads.
