Disney CEO Iger to speak at SABEW conference in 2007

Walt Disney Co. CEO Robert Iger will address the Society of American Business Editors and Writers’ conference in Orange County, Calif., in May 2007.

Iger succeeded long-time Disney CEO Michael Eisner as the entertainment and news company’s leader in October 2005. He oversees a diverse set of operations from a major Hollywood studio to the ABC network and its news production as well as a massive tourism business.

Previously, Iger was Disney’s president and chief operating officer. He came to Disney through the company’s purchase of Capital Cities/ABC, where Iger was president.

Iger’s talk will be part of a SABEW event that will also feature a town hall meeting on business journalism ethics, presentations of SABEW’s Best in Business awards, sessions on how to better cover hot-button topics, and how to best manage your workflow in budget-crushing times for newsrooms.

SABEW Trivia: Eisner was a keynote speaker when the organization last visited Southern California for an annual conference in 1998.
