IAB Australia has launched a community access pass initiative which will offer those in the industry who are between jobs or recently made redundant, the opportunity to attend IAB Australia’s events, free of charge. A limited number of spots will be made available at each event and those interested must complete a registration form at the IAB Australia website.
The initiative builds on IAB’s existing offering of free education resources including eLearning programs, research and cheat sheets, all of which support those in the industry who wish to expand their knowledge base and stay in touch with the community.
Community access passes are available for the upcoming IAB Australia Audio Summit which will take place in both Sydney and Melbourne in March. Tickets will also be offered for all the other IAB Australia events including the Affiliate and Partnership Marketing Summit in both Sydney and Melbourne in April and the IAB Australia Video Summit in May.
Interest in the free IAB Australia education resources has been strong with more than 500 IAB Australia e-learning modules completed during FY25, taking the total number of e-learning modules undertaken in the last five years to 3,800. The two most popular courses in FY25 were the Foundations of Programmatic DOOH Advertising and Advertising Effectiveness Fundamentals.
“A strong industry is one that looks after its people, especially through periods of change. This initiative reflects IAB Australia’s role in keeping learning, insight and connection accessible to the whole community, not just those currently in roles,” said Gai Le Roy, CEO of IAB Australia.
By helping people stay engaged while they navigate transition, we’re supporting capability today and investing in the resilience and long-term strength of the digital advertising industry.”
