GMA-ANZ Members Dinner:

A members-only networking event. What better way to cap off the conference than with a relaxed gourmet buffet dinner? Held across the road from the conference venue at the award winning Waves Buffet at the Watermark Hotel, the members dinner was one of the highlights of Conference 09. With a later start time and open-ended conclusion, there is more time this year to enjoy the fabulous food and company as we end our time together.

For 2010, GMA-ANZ is proud to present the following speakers:

After shaking things up at Conference 09 with his keynote session, Jeff Crabtree is back by popular demand to once again challenge our notions of what the church is, what mission is and what music’s role is in all of it.

Jeff is a leading author, filmmaker and multi award winning songwriter and producer. He has had longstanding involvement with Christian City Church both as the world’s longest serving Christian City Church music team member, and as Principal of the Christian City Church School of Creative Arts (now C3 College), and is an internationally sought after and gifted speaker.

As a leading songwriter and producer over the past 15 years, Henry Seeley has worked alongside Pastors Russell and Sam Evans to birth the Planetshakers movement and been instrumental in establishing Planetshakers as a world-renowned worship movement.

As the Worship & Creative Director at Planetshakers City Church Melbourne for 5 years, Henry now spends his time leading worship and speaking, as well as producing artists from his studio in Melbourne. Producing over 20 albums for Planetshakers, including the Dove nominated “Open Up The Gates”, Henry has worked with a diverse array of artists including Hillsong United, California-based rock worship outfit Worth Dying For and Australian Idol winners Guy Sebastian and Stan Walker.

After graduating with a BA Music, Isaac Moody took on the role of Festival Co-ordinator for the newly formed EASTERFEST (Formerly - AGMF). Since then he has pioneered EASTERFEST’s transformation from very humble beginnings into Australia’s largest Christian music festival.

In addition to his role as EASTERFEST’s current CEO, Isaac also consults in marketing and strategic planning for numersous other not-for-profit initiatives. In his spare time he dabbles in politics, home maintenance and theme parks.

Now the current Associate Professor of Music at Macquarie University, Mark completed a doctorate in contemporary Christian music in 2002. He is co-editor of Perfect Beat: The Pacific Journal of Research into Contemporary Music and Popular Culture, and has published articles on a range of topics, including: the use of sound in the 'Matrix' films; copyright; CD-Rom; Christian music; rock journalism; and country music in Australia. In 2006 he authored Open Up The Doors a critical study on contemporary music in the Australian church and has conducted extensive research on Christian musics and their global flows.

Mark has overseen the initiation and development of Hillsong TV from conception to its current circulation to 126 countries worldwide.

Together with Ps Brian Houston and a dedicated team, Mark and Darlene were also involved in starting and leading the Hillsong Conference, which currently hosts over 20,000 delegates annually.

Mark is a leading social entrepreneur and media innovator and is a leading figure and consultant to many organisations around the world.
