Hi all

My name is Alex

I am running 2 Magento related businesses:

• one (Altima Interactive) develops Magento extensions, our most popular extension is lookbook/slider with multiple hotspots per image
• another (Magenable) is an eCommerce consultancy that specialises in Magento, we are based in Melbourne

I'll take part in MagentoLive Australia second time, was there last year and really enjoyed the event.

My favourite free time activity is probably travel, while I also like playing tennis and skiing.

Looking forward to be part of MagentoLive Australia 2015!

Hello guys,

I'm Ignacio de Paula, CEO at ebizmarts, we've been doing Magento stuff since Nov. 2007, we started as a full service agency and now we are 100% focused in integrations (we are Technology Partners). There are over 25K Magento stores using our extension in 100+ countries, being MageMonkey the most popular integration, and our POS our star product.

This will be our first time in Australia, and we're quite excited about it as it happens that Down Under ranks in our top 5 markets list, and it's been growing steadly in the last couple of years so it's time to see what's going on there

We haven't missed a single Magento Imagine and Magento Live UK, and we usually attend to a couple of Meet Magento as well, being down south it means that we travel quite a lot, not in the league of Ben Marks, but enough to break the 100K traveled miles in 6 or 7 months so I'd say that making friends across the globe and getting to know interesing places rank pretty high in my priority list, I'm a wine fan as well, so I'm looking forward to taste some great grapes and learn from the locals.

Cheers!

Looking forward to meet you in Syndey Ignacio, we use your MailChipm extension a lot.

Looking forward to meet you too!

Hi Sherrie,

You asked if I was going to #MLAU15 in response to my tweet about attending the great #Bargento2015 event in Paris (where I got to hear some very exciting news about M2 direct from @benmarks during his presentation):

https://twitter.com/AdamLGRing/status/654250197653028864 (with photos)

I won't be going personally but we are thinking of sending one of our guys based in Sydney along to meet Ben and get the latest on M2 (which, I am told, is going to be well worth attending to hear!).

Our agency is new and will only support M2 But, more news on that later on my twitter @AdamLGRing.

Cheers,

Adam LG Ring

That's awesome @adamring, if you decide to send some from your team have them drop by here and introduce themselves.
