Shaping the future of associations

Thank you for joining us at Digital First 23

A Conference to Remember!

Causeis is proud to showcase Digital First 23, an unforgettable conference we held in Brisbane last July. We hope it left a lasting positive impact on all attendees. Digital First 23 sold-out and created a packed house proving to be a highly immersive experience.

Our three streams of digital, tech, and association strategy, featuring more than 30 exceptional presenters, set the stage for a truly unique gathering. The atmosphere was engaging and positive, with delegates immersed in a blend of networking, learning, and fun. The exchange of stories, thought-provoking questions, and countless opportunities for sharing innovative ideas made the event truly engaging.

As we reflect on the success of Digital First 23, our excitement for the future only grows stronger. We are thrilled to announce that Digital First 24 is already in the works. Together, we will continue to shape the future of associations.

Continue your digital journey

With Causeis you can achieve more, and we are here to help your associations digital transformation.

It was a great conference - well thought through, great content and speakers, engaging and relaxed. Well worth the trip; I will be keen to come again.

Thank you so much for putting on such a wonderful conference! It was so insightful, and I have come back to work invigorated with so many ideas. Will be making small changes that hopefully have a big impact...And next year I will bring a colleague or two so that we can learn together. Thanks again.

- Kate

The keynote speakers were all different but all interesting. My only gripe is there was so much content that it was hard to remember it all. Thanks for providing the slides. I took notes, now I just need to marry the two together. Thanks for putting on this conference. Causeis staff - you did a fabulous job - well done. I hope you are celebrating and doing high-fives (now that you have recovered!!)

- Kathryn

Thank you for an amazing conference. So many high-value tracks at the same time, it was difficult to choose!
