media140 is a vibrant global organisation that educates and inspires forward thinking professionals on future trends in social and digital technologies.
We are a dynamic collective of individuals developing a collaborative platform for organisations through workshops and conferences that are design to help people share, innovate and learn. People and our community are central to everything we do. We bring together exciting, influential and progressive thinkers, to create immersive experiences with an emphasis on the practical and strategic applications of social and digital technologies.
We strive to be the best in our field by bringing together recognised industry professionals who have built their own successful businesses to support our events and leveraging our speaker network to deliver value. We deliver immersive experiences with an emphasis on practical and strategic advice to help organisations and individuals develop more effective communication strategies.
Founded in December 2008 by Andrew Gregson originally as a one off event to fund a 250k (yes, that’s 250 kilometres!) charity race across the Sahara. media140 has grown very quickly and successfully hosted over 26 global events in London, Barcelona, Perugia, Vienna, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Canberra with over 600 speakers and 6000 participants.
Our values
At the heart of everything we do are our values. We stand by them being the set of behaviours that we expect all our people to embrace to further our ambitions for our community, people and our events.
| Collaboration |
As a small organisation we can’t achieve our goals alone, so we value partners and seek collaborations that help us grow. We work with organisations that share our goals and work towards mutual benefit with the realisation there is strength in diversity. |
| |
| Passion |
We believe in what we do and are very proud of it. We take on big challenges and pride ourselves on seeing them through. |
| |
| Openness |
Sharing and collaboration are major drivers for innovation. Knowledge share and communication is at the heart of what we do. |
| |
| Action |
We say what we mean and we do what we say, to make real practical difference with our work and partnerships we nurture. |
Philanthropy is a core media140 philosophy and we always donate a percentage of our ticket sales from each conference to a charity local to its region. Charities we have supported include: Mencap, Big Issue, Telethon and DEC. |
