Led by Simon Dell from Cemoh\, this session breaks down how the key elements of digital marketing — from brand and content to channels\, data\, and technology — work together to drive real business outcomes. Rather than focusing on trends in isolation\, Simon will help you understand the ecosystem as a whole\, so you can make smarter\, more confident marketing decisions. \nWith over 15 years’ experience building\, scaling\, and selling marketing-led businesses\, Simon brings a unique blend of strategic insight and hands-on expertise. Participants will walk away with a clearer understanding of where to focus their time and investment\, how to align marketing activity with business goals\, and how to leverage digital marketing more effectively to support growth — whether you’re working with an internal team\, external partners\, or doing it yourself.

It is a must-attend webinar for all landscape architects who wish to design sites that improve with time. Whether your priority is performance driven outcomes like stronger pest regulation and lower ongoing inputs\, or you are genuinely trying to reconnect fragmented wildlife corridors to support at-risk fauna\, plant specification decisions carry weight. Some plants are nectar factories. Some are pollen providers. Others support frugivorous birds or provide shelter and breeding habitat. \nThe webinar’s speaker\, Daniel Fuller\, is Ozbreed’s resident horticulture expert\, bringing more than a decade of personal experience leading commercial and private landscape maintenance projects both in VIC and QLD\, as well as over 6 years’ experience researching\, writing\, and creating educational content for the horticulture industry. Daniel’s approach revolves around stacking landscape and ecological functions while reducing maintenance through the power of right plant\, right place\, with information backed by over a decade’s worth of Ozbreed trials and research. Daniel provides free online planting & horticulture consultations for specifiers through Ozbreed\, who are eligible for either formal or informal CPD points through AILA. \nAttendees can expect to understand the following concepts by the end of the presentation: \n\nSuccession\, and how the dimension of time impacts landscape ecology throughout the seasons and the decades.\nCategorising ecological relationships through pattern recognition\, e.g. pollen\, nectar\, seeds\, fruits\, and more.\nHighlighting keystone Australian species and genera that provide disproportionate ecological function.\n\n  \nWhen you understand what each plant is actually offering\, you can assemble meaningful guilds that regulate themselves better between maintenance visits. That means your designs can expect to support more wildlife\, experience less plant failures\, and generally remain more attractive with less work. \nThe session will be recorded and emailed out to all registrants 48 hours after the event. \n  \n  URL:https://greenlifeindustryqld.org.au/event/designing-urban-ecosystems-with-australian-plants-webinar/ LOCATION:Online END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Brisbane:20260318T080000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Brisbane:20260318T170000 DTSTAMP:20260210T042744Z CREATED:20260116T042518Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260210T042744Z UID:13076-1773820800-1773853200@greenlifeindustryqld.org.au SUMMARY:ACDC Course - Brisbane DESCRIPTION:Chemical Spraying Course \nwww.landscapeskills.edu.au \n0483 944 838 URL:https://greenlifeindustryqld.org.au/event/acdc-course-brisbane-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20260316T130000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20260316T140000 DTSTAMP:20260305T233650Z CREATED:20260305T233538Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260305T233650Z UID:13242-1773666000-1773669600@greenlifeindustryqld.org.au SUMMARY:Project Spotlight: Living Lab Northern Rivers - WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:Join AILA and landscape architect Martin Bryant from University of Technology Sydney\, as he shares insights into the design process and key takeaways from this important project.   \nLiving Lab Northern Rivers exemplifies how landscape architecture can lead recovery and renewal and improve resilience in the face of climate disaster. Established on Bundjalung Country after the 2022 floods\, the Lab brings together communities\, First Nations knowledge holders\, government\, business and universities in a groundbreaking hybrid model of research\, co-design and practice. Its continuous shopfront presence and full-time activation foster trust\, empower community agency\, and advance evidence-based approaches that address housing\, biodiversity\, waste and flood resilience. The jury commends this whole-of-society initiative for breaking down silos\, exploring new roles for landscape architects\, and offering a powerful model for climate adaptation and community-led change. \nOnce registered\, your webinar link for this event will be located in the registration confirmation email from AILA.
