The theme for this year’s conference is “Connected: Together is Better” and focuses on reuniting
educators across the country to engage in proactive discussions on emerging business concepts, and changes to the curriculum, offering
opportunity to share knowledge amongst peers to improve systems nationally.

creatively to problem solve issues in the context of the corporate world.

GDP-B: Accounting for the value of new and free goods in the digital economy
Digital media consumes a huge portion of our lives with the average Australian spending almost 40 hours per week online. That is roughly the
same amount of time as a full-time job spent on smartphone apps, searching Google, scrolling social media, following maps, studying online,
streaming music, videos and more. But these goods and services go largely uncounted in official measures of economic activity such as GDP
and productivity.
In this webinar, Professor Erik Brynjolfsson, Stanford University, will explain how potential mismeasurement can arise from
not fully accounting for such digital resources, while also putting forward a new metric labelled GDP-B, as it captures the benefits
associated with new and free goods and is seen to go “beyond GDP”.
