SDForum's Business of New Media Conference: 'Where is the Money?' December 11, 2009

Following last year's highly successful conference, invite you to join us at the 4th annual conference on the Business of New Media. This year's theme is 'Where is the Money?' - what new media companies are making money, what's coming up that you'll want to bet on? Blogs, podcasting, Internet radio and TV, social networking, and portable media-all are examples of new media forcing old media to change, adapt, and evolve or perish. We'll examine new payment systems and applications, business models and metrics to measure success, real-time information providers, cool companies in the new media space - and more.
