We’re in the midst of planning for our big “Future of Business Media” conference on October 30th in NYC, at the Waldorf. The speakers/panels are almost set, and we’ve also secured great spot for our pre-evening reception for attendees and speakers: the IAC/InterActiveCorp headquarters. For the conference, we also have some additional speaker surprises in store, mainly in form of videos. The full speakers list is here.

Also, for the attendees, we will have the conference mini-social network ready soon, so you can start seeing who else is coming, and set up appointments, help us figure out discussion topics, among others things.

Our sponsors till now: Diamond: DeSilva & Phillips. Platinum: The Jordan, Edminston Group and Copyright Clearance Center; Gold: M:Metrics; Silver: PalTalk, Pluck, Scripps Networks and Connotate.  For underwriting the conference, e-mail our business side at advertising AT contentnext.com.
