We spoke to MYOB, Quickbooks, Pursuited, Content Snare, Aider, Next Minute, Cloud Staff, Business Fitness and others! This episode is all about the software and services at the conference.

Our number 1 requested return guest and friend of the podcast Mike Mortlock of MCG Quantity Surveyors returns to chat to us about his experience in using public relations for his business.
