We promised a fall conference on the Future of Business Media and now we can fill you in on the finer points — date , venue and an already excellent slate of speakers with additions to come. A reminder: FOBM is an executive-level one-day conference focused on the future of business and trade media, with all the changes brought along by digital media and consolidation deals.
The date: Oct 30th.
The venue: the historic and grand Waldorf=Astoria in New York City (Remember, when it was built the Art Deco was ahead of the curve, just as we are.)
