Exclusive Insights from Australian Customer Research

12:00pm - 2:00pm (AEDT) @ Doltone House Hyde Park
Strategic success in 2025 requires a deep understanding of your customer, to then align your messaging to real business priorities and challenges, rather than leading with product.
Join 90 of your B2B Tech Marketer peers as ADAPT share the latest insights from 1,000 executive surveys, gathered this year from Australia’s top 400 organisations - between them responsible for over 60% of our GDP and 3 million staff (23% of Australia’s workforce!).

- Customer investment plans and propensity for the new FY
- Latest maturity and modernisation insights from Australia’s top performers.
