Melbourne Marketing Forum October 2026

Join us at the Melbourne Marketing Forum for an evening of engaging networking with fellow marketing professionals, and two guest speakers. What is the Melbourne Marketing Forum? Four times a year, Melbourne’s brightest marketers gather in the CBD to hear from the experts and connect with industry peers over some drinks and finger food. At each event, two new guest speakers from leading brands share their invaluable knowledge in short, sharp, info-packed presentations. Who attends? Business leaders and Marketing and Communication professionals. Why do we run this event? The Melbourne Marketing Forum, previously known as the dm Forum, has run since 2002 and has helped build a network of professionals in Melbourne's marketing community. Since its founding, this event has always donated money collected from ticket sales to a charity or social enterprise. Since 2022, we have supported the Australian hospitality social enterprise STREAT with the money raised. How is this possible? We have had the long and ongoing support from our two major sponsors: Monash Business School and the Australian video production company ANGRYchair. environments For more information on the speakers, visit our website, follow us on LinkedIn or sign up for our Newsletter to stay in the loop! This event's speakers: ✨ Renae Casey✨ Renae first found herself in the digital space as a communications officer after studying visual communication design. With experience in social media management, graphic and brand design, and website maintenance, she’s always had an interest in the creative side of things, and this has led her to a career in SEO. While websites might appear techy, Renae sees them as a way to explore creative opportunities to boost brand awareness and performance. Her diverse working experience (from hospitality and retail to qualified pet groomer, turned SEO Specialist) makes her an adaptable, spicy member of the team. Outside of work, you can find Renae playing Netball, camping in the wilderness, soaking up the sun at the beach, reading a book with her two cats, or keeping social with friends and family. ✨ Moby Siddique✨ Most businesses treat their CRM as a glorified address book. Moby Siddique thinks it should be your biggest source of revenue. The customer database you already own is the most underused asset in the building. Most teams barely scratch the surface of the retention, revenue and loyalty sitting inside it. Siddique proved the point on himself. He built RedPandas from zero to a US acquisition, then bought the business back when he saw a clearer path to growth by doing exactly what he now teaches. Today he helps sales and marketing teams get certainty of data and ROI from their CRM, turning it from a glorified address book into a growth engine. He’s been engaged by brands such as HubSpot and LinkedIn. With 20 years on stage, his style has been described as “engagingly authentic”. Moby speaks at marketing, sales, and industry events and educates leaders on how to turn their CRM into their biggest source of revenue. ‣ Please be aware that still or video capture of these events may be used as marketing material for future events. ‣ Ticket sales close 24 hours before the event, or when tickets sell out.
