Media and communications

The Media, Communications and Technology (MCT) network brings together Australians working in areas as diverse as consumer electronics, movies and entertainment, the media, broadband telecommunications, mobile and wireless services and enterprise information technology. Geographically, our members hail from many leading technology centres in the United States, including Silicon Valley, Los Angeles and Boston, with plans to expand throughout Europe and the Asia-Pacific.

Our key objectives are to provide a forum where Australians can connect with each other professionally, as well as inform themselves and stimulate new perspectives on trends emerging in MCT in Australia.


The Advance Australian community is continually expanding. If you are interested in getting involved in the committee or have any suggestions, contact us with your expression of interest and any questions you may have.
