We expect about 60 to 75 high quality presentations during the conference, including the plenary sessions where influential ideas will be presented by keynote speakers. Authors are reminded to submit the final versions of their paper no later than 30 September 2009 to warrant inclusion in the conference proceedings.

In a report by the Sydney Morning Herald, Australia has just begun a search for a new brand identity and will spend up to $20 million for the effort. The Herald cites Australia’s trade minister, Simon Crean, in challenging marketing agencies to come up with a “catch-all slogan, image or logo that best exemplifies Australia and promote it overseas” and whatever the successful brand will be must, the Minister believes, have an ''unashamedly commercial focus'' to promote Australia as a tourist destination, and as a great place to live, do business, and invest. In addition, plans are afoot to establish a Brand Australia Council and to launch a new wave of advertising campaign. Perhaps a few officials from Australia’s Trade Ministry will find attending the 3rd DBM Conference in December worth their while and purpose as they prepare to announce the new brand marketing plan in February.
