Future of Business Media conference slated for October

The second annual Future of Business Media conference will be held Oct. 28 in New York, and it’s named Bloomberg News chief content officer Norm Pearlstine as its keynote speaker.

The full-day conference will focus on the future of the business and trade media industry, and the changes brought along by consolidation and digital media.

In a year that saw News Corp. finally absorb Dow Jones, CNBC fend off the launch of Fox Business, the Thomson Reuters merger go through, TheStreet introduce Main Street and BusinessWeek introduce a search product, what were the trends, who were the players and where will business media be this time next year?

With the weakening economy and the credit crisis, these business media companies have seen cuts where it hurts. How is the industry coping with the downturn, and what are the bright spots? What are the pockets of innovation?

  • Thanks for the mention, Chris. What a difference a year makes -- this time last year, major consolidation and mega-money launches were in the works as we prepared our first FOBM. This year, well, you and your readers know all too well what a different environment we all are operating in.
